From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Statements in the main like Arriva "bullying Council operators", "Arriva jumped the gun and illegally registered services..." and "...as happened in Warrington, where thankfully, they failed" indicate possible bias. --Unremitting 17:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

It does seem a bit POV. I have cn'ed the word "illegally" and will remove it soon if someone doesn't respond with an appropriate reference. My understanding is that since deregulation, operators can register what they like, where they like. If this is challenged, and deemed to be "abuse of a monopoly position" or some such, then they can be removed. To justify calling it illegal, reference is needed to a successful injunction or similar against Arriva, if such exists. Even then, the whole paragraph could probably do with a rewrite to be encyclopedic in tone. Quackdave 14:50, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Having done a bit more research, I have now completely rewritten the paragraph in a more encyclopedic, NPOV tone. I could not find any record of a judgement in the court case, so have not speculated as to the reason for the deregistrations; I have just put everything chronologically with links.
