If the buses are on lease then First dont own them. When the lease is up, in most cases, First would have first refusal on extending the lease or buying them however they've got no control over what happens afterwards if they just return them.
Indeed First bought quite a few ex Stagecoach double deckers a few years ago when their leases had expired. --- On Tue, 15/11/11, Luke <[email protected]> wrote: From: Luke <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Celtic Travel: Loan B6BLEs To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, 15 November, 2011, 17:10 Chris, It is surprising indeed that these have left First Bus's fleet and have gone on to other operators. Cymru also returned a few Solos a few months ago after their lease was up, so perhaps the same may happen to them. Any ideas on what the new buses for the service will be due next year? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Welsh Bus Photographs" group.
