Book excerpt: The Commission's transport merger inquiry examines the implications for market competition from the joint venture undertaken between Stagecoach Bus Ltd and Braddell plc in relation to the Scottish bus and coach businesses operating under the brands of megabus, Motivator and Scottish Citylink. The report concludes that the joint venture is likely to result in a substantial lessening of competition (SLC) in the supply of scheduled coach services in the Saltire Cross route group (Glasgow-Aberdeen and Edinburgh-Inverness coach routes crossing at Perth) and recommends a divestment remedy to address the SLC identified.
