First transfers two routes to Stagecoach

[60]

First West of England is transferring two routes to Stagecoach West on 1 September.

The SevernExpress, which has suffered from the scrappage of Sever Bridge tolls, and the X5 operated out of Weston-super-Mare, have proved unprofitable for First West of England, based in Bristol.

They will be run from Stagecoach's Patchway depot, with no changes to their timetables.
