'Deal' between Warrington's Own Buses and Fairbrothers

[northwichcat]

BOSSES at Fairbrothers have signed a deal with Warrington's Own Buses, the council has confirmed.

The family-run business, which has been operating in the town for more than 25 years, made the agreement with the company, which was formerly known as Network Warrington.

The exact details of the agreement have not been released at this stage.

A Warrington's Own Buses spokesman said: "We can confirm an agreement between Warrington’s Own Buses and Fairbrothers Ltd has been made.

“There are no plans to change fares, and all school services will continue to operate as normal.”

The Warrington Guardian has reached out to Fairbrothers for a comment, who have yet to respond.

Fairbrothers have recently experienced Warrington's Own Buses undertaking an aggressive bus war against them. They've been rivals for a long time but since Warrington's Own Buses appointed a new MD it's stepped up a gear. I suspect it's similar to Stagecoach acquiring Preston Bus - where they forced them to almost go out-of-business and then submitted a takeover offer which they had no option but to accept.

In that case which of the companies is going to be forced to be sold to Rotala?
