OFT grounds for clearing Go-Ahead / Stanley Taxis

OFT decision (11 pages, PDF) clearing the acquisition of the bus business of Stanley Taxis in the North East of England by the Go-Ahead group. The clearance is based on a view that the potential for new entry by operators with neighbouring depots in markets affected by the transaciton provides a sufficient competitive constraint.
