But from a bus company perspective, ride quality may not be the major concern for buying decision, otherwise they would sticked with heavy weight, more fuel thirsty but more robust SD. I would think is it the real problem being Streetlite or Streetdeck just isn't being economical to run in...

Given that the new 19 largely replicated the first service 3, wonder is there such a demand for two frequent routes...

How about restoring the First 750 from Romford to Basilidon

Just have a look on the map, a bit surprise to found some of them are overlapping with area currently severed by First.

Extending a service to Basildon will be directly competing with the First 100. Given Ensign previously operate the 100 late night departure when First does not turn up, I am not going to surprise if they are launching a replicated 100.

Its better with network map provided now. Havent travel a transdev bus for 10 years as I cant figure out how to plan my trip from their web site. And does anybody know if the York & Country being a new operations set-up to take over tendered route in York?

So the Crossrail from Abbey Wood to Canary Wharf would be a potential challenge to these service?!

It's interesting that almost all London commuter coach are serving Kent. For example, there were 10 departures of 735/736 serving Gravesend per day each direction, while no service existed across the Thames in Essex. Is it due to the geographical reason?

Would you mind sharing your route to Barnsley

Just a guess, maybe RATP wanted to dispose as it is not profitable. I think it is under fierce competition with More, More is having a wider network and a more updated fleet as well

It is wired the biggest shareholders are not supporting the board, so who is in behind controlling First Gp and appointing the chairman and the board members?!
