It is a subsidiary of FirstGroup. The company operates within the area covered by the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, a public body responsible for helping to co-ordinate public transport services in the Greater Glasgow area. HistoryFirst Glasgow was created through FirstGroup's buyout of Strathclyde Buses (created from the former Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive bus fleet, formerly the municipal Glasgow Corporation Transport), which had itself recently bought out the former Kelvin Central Buses (an amalgamation of Kelvin Scottish and Central Scottish, owned by the state-owned Scottish Bus Group).[1][2][3] First Glasgow has two operator's licences:[4]
Buses carry legal signwriting for First Glasgow Limited, despite of this having been a dormant company since at least 2008.[7] ServicesFirst Glasgow mainly run services in Greater Glasgow and Lanarkshire areas of Strathclyde. However, some services do run outside of these areas. It was one of the first bus operators to introduce an "overground", a colour-coded set of bus routes with route branding on the bus exteriors and timetables. As of 2006, route branding has been removed from buses but remained on timetables until mid 2008. In May 2013 the company introduced a new network in Glasgow called SimpliCITY SimpliCITYFirst Glasgow introduced SimpliCITY in May 2013 as a way to simplify bus numbers and routes. SimpliCITY services generally operate at least every 7/8 minutes, although this is in the core section only and outer termini are served less frequently. Many non-SimpliCITY routes still use the branded buses however. As of October 2017, the 9/9A became the first route to receive colour-coded 'SimpliCITY' branding, with a pink front. In 2018, this was followed by branding for the 61 and 240 routes, both coloured blue, 65 coloured pink, 75 coloured yellow, 34/34A and 38 coloured mint, 18 242 and 241 coloured red and 254 orange. Low Emission Zone 2018A Low Emission Zone (LEZ) covering Glasgow city centre was introduced on 31 December 2018; the first phase of this applying solely to local service buses.[8] In October and November 2018, to comply with the new emission standards, First Glasgow placed orders for 150 new buses from Falkirk-based Alexander Dennis[9][10], partly funded by the Scottish Green Bus Fund, a Transport Scotland subsidy.[11] The new buses started coming into service from October 2018, many in route-specific coloured branding, with launch events organised involving buses being wrapped in model-style packaging.[12] DepotsFirst Glasgow currently operates out of Five depots:
In May 2013 Cumbernauld depot closed with staff, buses and services transferred to Larkfield, Parkhead and Blantyre depots. Larkfield depot closed on 18 October 2014 with all staff, buses and services moving to a new purpose built depot on the site of the former Gushetfaulds railfreight terminal on nearby Cathcart Road.[13] The new depot and head office, known as Caledonia Depot opened on 14 October 2014.[14] It was officially opened by First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon on 12 December 2014.[15] In January 2016 Parkhead Depot closed and services and drivers transferred to the new Caledonia Depot on Cathcart Road.{{cn|date=May 2016}} {{-}}References1. ^[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/takeover-nets-bus-workers-pounds-35000-1346448.html Takeover nets bus workers £35,000] The Independent 10 May 1996 2. ^[https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/smgpubs/doc/332499993.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Aug%201,%201998&author=Gavin%20Madeley&pub=The%20Herald&edition=&startpage=&desc=Bus%20takeover%20is%20finally%20cleared Bus takeover is finally cleared] The Herald 1 August 1998 3. ^FirstBus Plc and SB Holdings Limited: A freport on the merger situation Competition Commission 4. ^About Us First Glasgow 5. ^Companies House extract company no SC097299 First Glasgow No 1 Limited formerly Strathclyde Buses Limited 6. ^Companies House extract company no SC127012 First Glasgow No 2 Limited formerly Kelvin Central Buses Limited 7. ^Companies House extract company no SC129033 First Glasgow Limited 8. ^[https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=23649 Glasgow City Centre Rings in the New Year with Scotland's First Low Emission Zone] Glasgow City Council, 1 January 2019.
