The investment follows First Bus’s acquisition of York Pullman in 2024, alongside the more recent acquisitions of Tetley’s Coaches and J&B Travel in 2025, strengthening First Bus’s presence in the Yorkshire coach sector while supporting the continued development of three well-established local operators.
As part of the programme, 17 new coaches have been introduced across the three companies over the last 12 months, alongside wider plans for depot improvements, vehicle wash facilities, technology upgrades and operational enhancements.
