So you clearly can polish a turd, the inside is still dire though!

This indicates that 2-tone green will be standard for First Leeds, not just new buses.

Won't hold me breath! Whilst it would be nice for each WY depot to have their traditional colours, I can't see it happening. Especially with First manchester being sold; I wouldn't be suprised if Bradford Halifax and Hudds went before long. I just can't see them putting money into those depots when they seem to have lost interest in the Uk bus market for the most part.

I'd quite like a company to make a successful joint bid for Oldham & Huddersfield. I enjoy Leeds, Bradford & Halifax under common ownership though.

Hopefully if Huddersfield does get sold that Go-Ahead get it

I can't see any of First West Yorkshire depots being sold to other operators. I recall seeing a list of First operations sometime ago on this forum and First WY were one unit that made an operational profit compared with the loss the Manchester operations were making. Why would you sell a profitable company.

Why would you sell a profitable company. Because no doubt it's Leeds making the majority of that collective profit, the other depots are largely tagging along. That being said I still would imagine Bradford, Hudds and Halifax are at least breaking even.

I can assure you First Halifax is a profitable unit, especially as the operation is nearly 100% commercially operated since the abandonment of the Tendered network to Yorkshire Tiger back in 2010. First Huddersfield and Bradford are also in profit im led to believe, although no denying Bradford as issues. Absolutely no denying Leeds is the Jewel in the crown thriving metropolitan city with high bus use,but breaking up FWY allowing competitors a foothold. i dont think so.

Ok everyone knows Leeds is the jewel in crown when it is come to investing in the services operated there as witnessed by the ongoing influx of new buses as result with older ones going to other depots it can give people the impression that they do not care about other parts of West Yorkshire & fuels talk of selling up to other operators
