RE: First Group Disposals - Southernsofty - 17/05/2013 17:06
Just read the June 'Buses' magazine, they are saying that there are rumours of another First disposal this is from reliable sources.
Anyone heard/know anything?
Even a Cryptic answer will do!!

First are transferring routes based at London's Dagenham garage not destined for Stagecoach to Go-Ahead Blue Triangle from June 22nd. These are routes 193, 368, 498 and eight schoolday routes. It is rumoured that DM - by then operating just future Stagecoach routes 165, 179, 252 and 365 - will join First Essex but I am not sure whether this will materialise now.

It's apparently a non London operation?

Routes 165/179/252/365 will still be a London operation until the Autumn. I think the idea is/was to transfer DM administratively to First Essex, a bit like when other garages change First subsidiary through restructuring - Weymouth becoming part of First Hants & Dorset being a case in point.

That's interesting Southernsofty that there is still another First disposal in principle rumoured. I don't know of anything beyond the original hitlist and previous speculation.
