Thanks for your replies - really appreciate it!
Just so you know, it would be difficult for me to transfer to another university with one of my supervisors, but I'm not going to disclose the reasons why in a public forum in case that would out me!
I think that the concern is that all of my main supervisory team would be external - I expect that I would be allocated someone internally to check up on me, but there is noone else that is researching in my area, so it wouldn't be of much practical assistance. I'm worried that if there is a problem, there won't be anything much that the university can do....
How far is the new university your main/preferred supervisor is going to from your current university? Is it a short bus/train/care ride away? Are you able to get to it every two weeks for example easily?
Will your current university be paying your supervisors to continue supervising you? Who will be checking on them that they are doing their supervisory role as they ought to?
These are questions I would ask, and expect answers to. Also, do you current supervisor/s want you to carry on with them?
