Sandy Easdale explained the lengths to which he and his brother will go to protect their assets.
Having spent the last quarter of a century building up McGill’s, they fear it is under threat from a decision to pursue bus franchising, taken by SPT.
Buses are not their only interest – with property and other businesses adding to the resources available to them. Having taken over the firm as a small enterprise, it has become one of the biggest independent bus operators in the UK. He also believes the costs will be much higher than the estimates and the taxpayer will have to foot the bill.
Mr Easdale said McGill’s already runs services on routes with few passengers but where buses are still needed.“Uncertainty,” he states, is the first hurdle McGill’s, and others, will face.
