It was owned by the Chester City Council. HistoryChester City Transport commenced operating bus services in Chester in 1930.[2] It was operated as part of Chester City Council. To comply with the Transport Act 1985, the bus operation was transferred to a separate company in 1986.[1] It continued to trade as Chester City Transport until rebranded as ChesterBus in April 2005. In July 2006, Chester City Council placed the business up for sale.[3] In October 2006, Arriva North West & Wales registered a network of services to commence in January 2007, which duplicated a number of ChesterBus's routes.[4][5] On 11 October 2006, Chester City Council commenced an action in the High Court against Arriva, claiming that the registrations were anti-competitive under the Competition Act 1998, and asking for an injunction requiring Arriva to de-register them.[6][7] In December, the registrations were cancelled[8] though revised registrations for the 1/1A and 15 were made in January 2007. The claim centred on the allegation that Arriva were abusing a dominant position, but in a judgement dated 15 June 2007, it was held that Arriva had not been demonstrated to hold a dominant position, and the claim was therefore dismissed.[9] On 19 June 2007, ChesterBus was sold to First Chester & The Wirral with 84 buses.[10][11][12] References1. ^1 Companies House extract company no 2004962 Chester City Transport Limited 2. ^A Decade of Municipal Bus Operation in an historic city Commercial Motor 20 April 1940 pages 236/237 3. ^Chester Bus sale attracts potential buyers {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071026172034/http://www.busandcoach.com/newsstory.aspx?id=954 |date=26 October 2007 }} Bus & Coach Professional 30 August 2006 4. ^Arriva plans Chester assault {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812175625/http://www.busandcoach.com/newspage.aspx?id=991&categoryid=0 |date=12 August 2014 }} Bus & Coach Professional 25 September 2006 5. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20070928105803/http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosacorp/repository/CONT066854.pdf Notices & Proceedings] Traffic Commissioner for the North Western Traffic Area 6 October 2006 6. ^Chester council takes Arriva to court {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812175700/http://www.busandcoach.com/newspage.aspx?id=1039&categoryid=0 |date=12 August 2014 }} Bus & Coach Professional 14 October 2006 7. ^Chester cries foul as bus firm muscles in on existing routes Local Government Chronicle 18 October 2006 8. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20070928105914/http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosacorp/repository/CONT068059.pdf Notices & Proceedings] Traffic Commissioner for the North Western Traffic Area 15 December 2006 9. ^Chester City Council & Anor vs Arriva plc & Ors Judgement Royal Courts of Justice 15 June 2007 10. ^[https://archive.is/20070926220720/http://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/northwest/chesterwirral/news/?item=1816&show=1 FirstGroup agree purchase of Chester City Transport] First Chester & Wirral 19 June 2007 11. ^FirstGroup agree purchase of Chester City Transport {{webarchive|url=https://archive.is/20140803121624/http://www.firstgroup.com/latest_news/?id=000040 |date=3 August 2014 }} FirstGroup 19 June 2007 12. ^First trumps Arriva with Chester Bus purchase {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812175615/http://www.busandcoach.com/newspage.aspx?id=1414&categoryid=0 |date=12 August 2014 }} Bus & Coach Professional 20 June 2007 External links
