Do you think National Express will go back into London?

I think if NX were considering re-entering London, they should have/would have acquired First London when that was up for grabs, that op was much bigger than the Travel London (Abellio) business they sold in 2009 and would have given them the scale they never had previously. There was no mention in any of the First disposal rumours / acquisition scenario's of NX being interested in London.

If NX went into London, would I be able to pay cash fares or would it still be under the Clam card scheme?

If the fares were available, would they be the same as NXWM/C/Xplore Dundee?

Fares in London are governed by TFL, so they would be what is charged all over London, plus there would be no option to pay cash fares.
