Does say Hundreds of buses across three depots in Bury, Oldham and Bolton, will be sold to rival operators. Well They would be Selling Manchester / Oldham / Bolton if they do. . A FirstGroup spokesman said: "We don’t comment on market rumours or speculation. We keep all bus services, depots and the business portfolio under constant review so we can be responsive to changes in market conditions.” But going by the 180/184 of late they been putting Streetlights on it so demand is down to point the are happy to keep the streetlight on all day when there bigger buses on other routes. they need to put money into Oldham as they are short on buses so maybe they are looking at selling well of course they are but it depends if they get an offer worth doing the deal with. But they have to point it does look like they are winding First Manchester down with most of the admin moved to Yorkshire so they could sell any depot now. |

Firstbus are making losses and will shortly have to replace a mass fleet of 2005-2006 plated Volvo Wright Eclipse at all the depots. The cost of which won’t be cheap. |
