Not exactly, according to a First group employee I know on
Saturday. The Government is about is screwing as much money out of
passengers for the least possible expenditure in providing the
actual service, sadly. First have no choice but to do their

And yet they keep bidding (for other franchises).


They are allowed to make their margin, of course.
