ChesterBus[1] was an English municipal bus company operating services in Cheshire. It was owned by the Chester City Council.

History

Chester 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]
