I have mixed feelings about this, good to hear that they will be dual sourcing Volvo/Wright & ADL for new vehicles.
First have a sizeable fleet of 10 & 11 metre Single Decks to replace before 2015/2016.
I would still like to see Firstbus become a smaller company, by which I mean operating in fewer parts of the UK.
I am hoping we will hear more news of disposals soon.
Rumours are rife as to what will be sold/closed down, Is there anyone on this site who has a realistic insight into which subsidiaries are loss-making/breaking even/producing profits below target?
