Hilltopgeneral - the biggest chunk of Govia is owned by the Go-Ahead group - a bus company that started in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne!

Wye aye man, ye can tek yer croissants and shove em up ye hahahahaaaa

Seriously, Govia have done a much better job than Connex with the south central and south eastern rail franchises, so much so that they were given a new franchise last year operating Birmingham's local services and the stopping services from Birmingham into Euston as well.

And I believe there are plans to extend Southern's Clapham Junction - Watford Junction services further north to Milton Keynes as well.

They can't be that bad!
