No FT. No Comment

From Thursday’s Financial Times. On the Competition Commission’s bus industry investigation, said Brian Souter, “We just don’t understand it. It’s a completely open market. If one bus company doesn’t turn up on time, another one can.” As in Preston, perhaps?

The FT reminded readers that the Monopolies & Mergers Commission had once dubbed Stagecoach as “predatory, deplorable and against the public interest.” This, Souter claimed, was during Stagecoach’s early days. Stagecoach was “much better behaved now”. Ah, would that be Preston again, then?
