>From the Surface Transportation Board, Washington, D.C.
-----------------------------***-----------------------------
The Surface Transportation Board has scheduled an oral argument for
Tuesday, April 27, 2010, at the STB's Washington headquarters.
Board members will hear from parties in Stagecoach Group PLC
and Coach USA, Inc., et al.—Acquisition of Control—Twin
America, LLC, STB Docket No. MC-F-21035.
In this proceeding, Stagecoach Group PLC and its
subsidiaries seek to acquire Twin America, LLC to provide
tourist bus operations in New York City. The New York State
Attorney General has an ongoing antitrust investigation
concerning Twin America and has asked the Board to reject
the application or delay a decision until its investigation
is completed.
Each side in the case will have 20 minutes to argue its
position and to respond to questions from Board members,
similar to proceedings in federal appellate courts. The oral
argument is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. in the hearing
room at STB headquarters, 395 E Street S.W. in Washington,
DC. Though the proceedings are open to the public, only
counsel for the parties to the cases will be permitted to
speak. Photo identification is necessary to enter the
building.
A live video broadcast of the oral argument will be
available via the Board's Web site at
http://www.stb.dot.gov, under "Information
Center"/"Webcast"/"Live Video" on the home page.
