The first crumblings of the First Bus Empire ?

« on: July 23, 2019, 11:17:38 »

First have announced that the Severn Express X7 and X5 Weston to Cribbs Causeway are to be operated by Stagecoach from Sunday September 1st. This will be the first foray by Stagecoach into North Somerset. It will be interesting to see what this means for the future.

Don't be surprised to see other changes that might make various First Bus elements into more logical operational units.

Those other changes could be more logical operational units run by a totally different company.
