First Student was effectively a private hire scheme based on the model that was working well for them in North America. OK it meant a coach used on a school contract wouldn't also be taking the pensioners to bingo but they were still hired out for school trips and other occasional school work like transporting primary school kids to the leisure centre for swimming.

Stagecoach Manchester have a large fleet of coaches at one of their depots. OK they are for Megabus but they could use them for other purposes if they wanted.
