 * Delete I suppose this fails NOTDIRECTORY; a redirect wouldn't really help, since if the directory is deleted there's not a lot left of the article's purpose. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:34, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

 * I would have said to keep the "South" group separate due to the large operating area and the legal distinction of the operator licences and VOSA registrations. Its a shame the other two components are already decided though. Dwhittgray (talk) 12:36, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Which means all three are simply franchises and is a situation specifically targeted by WP:CHAIN. There is no need for each franchise to have it's own article - simply cover the nuances of each in the south article. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 15:30, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
