  • Whilst we all would wish FirstMidlandBluebid every success with its unpunctuated brand - the blue looks really "cool" and the whole idea is excellent - fbb does wonder about that avian name. Public Transport Experience
  • “It is nice when somebody goes ‘Thank you, driver’” If only there were more passengers who would. Omnibuses
  • The service is hourly and you may well have to sympathise with First's managers as they wrestle with the economics of such a non-lucrative route. Public Transport Experience
  • Island Princess can carry up to 70 people, so should be able to cope with loadings out of the peak months, although her large open deck space doesn't necessarily lend itself to operating during the winter months, PTOTPA

  2. they could have redone the interior into current first moquette too so it looks more modern.
