I imagine First are finding a location out of town at an industrial site or somewhere like that?

Knowing Bury as i do, having lived in the town for a long time, now. I heard from a driver, about a couple of sights one being a former car showroom. But something doesn't add up, if first do sell the garage to a developer for a fixed price. Im thinking if the sale goes ahead whats first's motives more cost cutting. The rumor started based on Bury council wanting the site for years. But surely building a brand new depot is going to cost way more, than first may or may not get for the sight. Would First fork out for a new depot in Bury, i cant see it at all.

What seems more likely is some form of depot merger either BN Or QS or a combination of the two. But before i get jumped on, im not spreading rumors at all, just my personnel opinion.
