With the acquisition of central buses the three main operators of the West Midlands is 1. NX 2. Diamond and 3. Igo. I have a feeling Igo will soon merge with diamond

Funny you say that the driver of central buses thought they had brought igo too.

What's changed then? 1, 2 & 3 were the same before Central Buses was acquired.

Don't forget De Courcey. They're bigger than Central.

And Stagecoach.

Surely its got to come to a point where Diamond cannot acquire any more companies due to the Monopolies & Mergers thing?

Or are we a long way off that yet?

I believe Nx cannot 'grow' the same way for the same reason!

With NX running approx 75% of all WM bus services, I very much doubt there would be any restriction on Rotala if they were to continue to mop up WM independents. However, I have thought NX might try & put a stop to it before OFT investigation.

A significant number of Central drivers have previously worked for Pete's or Diamond and are now back where they started.
