Isn't a lot of the London stock leased though rather than bought? I know stagecoach did lease their vehicles with the option to buy at the end of the lease. So it might well be that these vehicles don't belong to first and are being sold by the finance company. Having said that Stagecoach have completed on ex London stock cascaded it North and refurbed and converted buses for groups short on vehicles but First just don't seem to know what their doing. Bringing in odds and sods ain't fixing the problem.
