PRESS: FirstGroup Considers Sale Of Loss-Making Manchester Bus Network

6th Feb 2019 06:54

LONDON (Alliance News) - FTSE 250-listed FirstGroup PLC intends to dispose of its Manchester operations to reduce losses, Telegraph reported late Monday.

The newspaper said the public transport firm is mulling a sale of hundreds of buses across depots in Bury, Oldham and Bolton, to rival operators for just GBP20 million.

Telegraph said Manchester, FirstGroup's fourth-biggest regional bus network by revenue, which generates about GBP100 million per annum, has veered sharply into the red and is now its worst performing UK network.
