FirstGroup even set up a company called EvoRail to deliver 5G speeds to trains via the line side infrastructure- however the Department for Transport scuppered it saying it was too expensive with no value. Private sector was willing to invest, just no backing.
Another FirstGroup company, Lumo, is about to switch to Starlink, which will make a huge difference - but only as long as the government allows infrastructure enhancements in tunnels etc.
Let's be direct about something that still causes confusion in venues and event operations: priority queue access for #disabled people is not "queue jumping." It is a legal requirement under the Equality Act 2010.
The Supreme Court confirmed this position in FirstGroup v Paulley. The case involved a #wheelchair user on a bus and a priority space that another passenger refused to vacate. The Court held that the operator had a duty to go further than merely asking — #disability priority is not optional and cannot be overridden by social convention or the preferences of other customers.

@SW_Help Just to let you know 450012 still have ‘A FirstGroup and MTR Company’ on the side of it. May be the only train I’ve worked and seen it on!

Guy blatantly drinking a bottle of lager on the bus.
Reported it to the Bus Driver who just nodded and continued the journey.
Does FirstBus not care about Section 6/Part I of their own Conditions Of Travel?
