First Buses put Profit First, Safety Second, otherwise how else can you explain all the First Group Buses that get ORDERED OFF THE ROAD by vehicle examiners.

Like Father, Like Son.

2  All across the Great Western territory / Who's who on Western railways / The Most Expensive Railway in Europe? on: January 07, 2008, 21:09:28
I have herd many claims such as

* "First buses in bristol cost more per mile than concorde"
* "First Great western has the most expensive rail tickets in europe"

allong with many other more generic "first is crap" type comments, but i am more interested in knowing if anyone else has any evidence/opinion/contribution to this topic of First running the most expensive railway in europe. Is it true??
