(UK) FW: ADL in talks with Optare on takeover

Alexander Dennis Ltd is considering to take over the shares of Optare. Below is the link to the news concerned:

Personally I don't hope to see this coming true. I'm not in favour of the monopoly of ADL, which just limits the choice of buses in UK.

咁爆...早排先話Ashok Leyland增持

對於巴士迷來講, 型號少係其次
最重要係車身製造商來來去去都係果幾個
而家唔係wright 就ADL .... optare 車身既車都越來越少
以前d 車身十隻手指都數唔晒呀 ...

呢度講阿叔仲係揸住26% optare wo, Bus n coach 講嘅增持仲未傾掂數? 定係今次係ADL敵意收購?

如果 ADL 現階段繼續收購才會算敵意收購。
睇返 Optare 新聞稿，增持係用 "will" 黎講....

ADL正式宣佈

英國巴士業下滑, east lancs俾optare食完, 又俾ashok leyland食, ADL又虎視眈眈...

1. 睇埋另一貼話ARRIVA英國都會引入大金龍, 英國巴士業真係水浸眼眉...
2. 期待阿叔同OPTARE加埋會有D乜野火花~

New development.

It may well be the only way out for this cash-strapped company.
