Guys,
Don't get too carried away by the thought of First providing new vehicles. They operate a route between Luton Airport Parkway station and the Airport, and made a huge fanfare a couple of years ago about the purpose-built, brand-new, traveller-friendly articulated buses they would be using. And sure enough, four brand new vehicles showed up, just to be moved away after about 18 months to another outpost of the First empire.
