Acton garage contradiction

Latest comment: 19 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The section currently contains the statements:

  • The Acton garage holds 27 buses, and runs London bus route 427, and night route N207.
  • Today the garage houses 30 TNL's for route 207.

These clearly contradict each other. If the garage only holds 27 buses, how can it house 30 TNLs for route 207 in addition to the buses it runs on route 427 (which presumably runs at the same time). So I've added the contradict tag. Please correct if you can. -- Chris j wood 18:22, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Missing bits of history

The article fails to mention First's SE London subsidiary, which was sold to Metrobus during 2008. Heenan73 (talk) 16:39, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 10 December 2024

Latest comment: 1 year ago7 comments6 people in discussion
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not moved per the two oppose !votes below. There is no need for this move at present. As and when a new article is written, the matter can be revisited  — Amakuru (talk) 20:48, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

First London → First London (1997) – It may be very early days, but First have just announced they are returning to London operations with the acquisition of RATP Dev's London operations (incorporating Dev Transit London, London United and London Sovereign).[1]

Given the scope of the original First operation before it was broken up in 2013, reviving this article for the new operation might be a bridge too far and bound to cause some confusion. As such, unless anyone has a better name proposal for the article, I propose the above move with the option for First London (2025) to incorporate the ex-RATP operations.

  • Support per nom - Given the 1997 version is long and pretty much focuses solely on the '97 side it would therefore make sense to rename and move the 2024 version to First London (2024), Thanks, --–Davey2010Talk 16:34, 10 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Support with some caveats – I feel that First London (1997–2013) is a better title, and then we should just use First London for the upcoming RATP takeover assets. All of this should also wait until the takeover is confirmed to be going ahead as it still sits in the hands of various regulators. Buttons0603 (talk) 23:27, 10 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
    Yeah, that sounds like a reasonable set of amendments. Thought I'd get the move request in now, though, so to put the banner up and dissuade anyone from 'was' to 'is'ing the whole article.
    Then again, First might go for something else, i.e. reviving 'First Capital' or, for some reason, 'First Transit', thereby rendering the whole move discussion moot. Just have to wait and see the details if/when the sale goes through. Hullian111 (talk) 21:39, 13 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. I don't see the 2024 version anywhere. I think a move can be discussed when there is another article with the same title. Until then, I don't see why the article shouldn't remain at the current title. Frost 11:53, 25 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose for the time being. Agree with Hullian111 that we should wait to see what the name of the new FirstGroup entity is; if it's First London then I would support the requested move, but if it turns out to be something like First Capital or First Transit then there is no need for disambiguation or move.
