one thing,at Peak times Stagecoach seem to provide a more frequent service to firstbus (it seems you`ll see a 142 to Parrs Wood every 2 Min then you`ll see a Short Working 142 less than a minute after a Parrs Wood Working,then 143 seems to be also every 5 min or less - Seriously what is ment to be the frequency of these routes?!) while firstbus seems to only be around every 10 mins (in pairs) so im guessing that will work more to Stagecoach`s Advantage.

another thing ive been wondering is,once this £1 offer finishes,what will be the standard firstbus single be? i`d put money on it being higher than Magic bus to help pay for all them nice new buses.

Apologies, I was thinking of the two ex Mayne's Presidents when I wrote the reply god knows why I put 2002 lol.

Magic branding on a corporate livery does sound like a good idea - I dread to think what an Enviro400 would look like in magic livery, but I think they are behind the times with regards to WIFI.
As for the £1 flat fare, I imagine it could go on and on with neither wanting to back down.

I would imagine if anything the older 56 and 07 reg Enviro400's would be earmarked for Magic duties but engine wise are they any greener than the older Tridents currently being used? I didn't think the 56/07 Enviros even use Adblu.
