First carries over 250 million passengers each year on a network of routes serving central, west and north east London, as well as parts of Essex, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.

First operates the first bus simulator in the UK at our Willesden Junction depot. This was jointly funded between Transport for London and First.
