First Group Speculation

RE: First Group Speculation
Apparently they have some progress to report by the end of March, but alas no further info as to what. The hottest rumours I have read are about Northampton closing unless they find a buyer (such as Uno or CentreBus as Stagecoach would probably be blocked by the OFT), and Kidderminster/ Redditch going to National Express. Although Go-Ahead hope to grow through acquisition, I have not come across any First operations being sought by Go-Ahead, apart from a rumour months ago about some in eastern Scotland.
