FirstGroup plc (LSE: FGP.L) is a leading private sector provider
of public transport services. With £4.6 billion in revenue and more
than 30,000 employees, our UK divisions transported nearly
1.5m passengers a day in the last
financial year. First Bus is the second largest regional bus
operator in the UK, serving two-thirds of the UK’s 15 largest
conurbations with a fleet of c.4,900 buses. First Rail is the UK’s
largest rail operator, with many years of experience running
long-distance, commuter, regional and sleeper rail services. We
operate a fleet of c.3,800 rail vehicles through four management
fee-based train operating companies (Avanti, GWR, SWR, TPE) and two
open access routes (Hull Trains and Lumo). We create solutions that
reduce complexity, making travel smoother and life easier. Our
businesses are at the heart of our communities and the essential
services we provide are critical to delivering wider economic,
social and environmental goals. We are formally committed to
operating a zero-emission First Bus fleet by 2035 and to cease
purchasing further diesel buses after 2022; and First Rail will
help support the UK Government’s goal to remove all diesel-only
trains from service by 2040. In 2022 FirstGroup was named as one of
the world's cleanest 200 public companies for the third consecutive
year by sustainable business media group Corporate Knights in
partnership with US not-for-profit organisation, As You Sow. Visit
