First's loss of Wigan would be nothing of hurt to any employee's/local people, so to be quite honest I would underline 'speculation' and keep it as the key word. It really does not make a difference to the public whether it goes or not, apart from their tickets would only be valid on this new operator. first wouldn't defend something that isn't worth defence.

The likelihood is, it is just a rumour from some attention-seeking enthusiast that likes to spread a load of old rollocks in order to stir things up a bit. Really, take what you see with a pinch of salt, I know I will be doing so.

Exactly. Plus, the depot is located quite a few miles out of Wigan now anyways, and in BRYN, and is called the 'Lockett Road Depot'. Give me strength. Would they really get a brand new depot just to bin it off the next year? Think logically. Until I see it happen myself, I am not believing a word of this. You are told to never believe a word that's said in magazines and especially in newspapers...the amount of times that I've heard that Wigan and other depots are closing down and that is unreal. Just because they've chucked in some vehicle figures does not mean it is correct. It's fairly easy to download the First Manchester fleet list for free off the internet and do a count of how many buses are in each depot. No see, no believe.
