The article is premised on the situation "if a sale cannot be secured", which in turn seems to be based on "transport secretary Michael Matheson admitting to MSPs that a deal could fall through, as The Scotsman revealed yesterday".

The 'admission' from Mr Matheson comes from the exchange of correspondence in the links below:

The response from Mr Matheson, dated 16th November 2019, also states "Good progress continues to be made and we are satisfied with how the sale process is developing".
