First v Stagecoach in Manchester

[SF07]

RE: First v Stagecoach in Manchester
Looks like First are getting ready for the student market on the Wilmslow Road corridor, as it'll be the first time they'll be operating along the route at the start of the university year.

First have brought down the price of their all-term student ticket from £249 to £205. The price of First's ticket will be the same price as Stagecoach's Unirider ticket for 2014/15, although Stagecoach is valid until 30 June 2015, while First's is valid until 12 July 2015.

The one-term ticket are also priced at the same price by both operators at £100 per term.
