With first selling off a Depot in the north west talks of council takeovers in Scotland yesterday I heard a rumour about go ahead taking over many routes in Southampton,fareham and gosport anyone with any knowledge throw any light on this and I also wonder how profitable it is for first in Hampshire in particular the eclipse services E1/E2 and solent ranger X4/X5 many thanks

It's complete bs, seriously doubt First would be looking at selling Hampshire and Dorset, it's still profitable, but Greater Manchester hasn't been for several years

Thanks for that I agree if first is profitable for Hampshire it would make sense to hold on to it's best assets but with everything going on with first natiomwide time will tell
