Message from the Regional Managing Director

Welcome to our website for the Midlands area.

Nigel Barrett

Locally we provide important links to communities and places of interest for visitors and residents offering a vibrant, cultural balance of amenities for all tastes. First is proud to be able to offer an unrivalled service within the area.

Our variety of routes, fares and bus times mean that we can provide you with a reliable and efficient service to get you where you are going, when you want to be there. Whether you are a visitor to the area or a resident, are looking to travel in or out of our various towns and cities, or just looking for a day out, our networks can offer value for money and environmentally friendly alternative to taking the car for many journeys.

We are all facing tough economic times, so we are working closely with the 'Greener Journey' travel scheme; even for car users it sometimes makes good sense to use the bus.

We continue to work hard on our punctuality plans, this focus will be the main reason for any service changes going forward so that we can improve our reliability and punctuality.

We recognise that service changes can be inconvenient and so we make every effort to communicate them in advance using formats such as on bus notices, radio, website, local newspapers and the social networking site Twitter.

On this site, you will find information about our complete range of bus services and ticketing products with details of where you can purchase them. There are also contact details for you to use if there is anything else you would like to know about First in the Midlands.

We hope you have an enjoyable journey when travelling with us.

Nigel Barrett - Regional Managing Director
