First Hampshire & Dorset〔(Companies House extract company no ) First Hampshire & Dorset Limited formerly First Hampshire Limited formerly Southampton City Transport Company Limited〕 is a bus operator providing services in the counties of Hampshire and Dorset. It is a subsidiary of FirstGroup. ==History== First Hampshire & Dorset was created out of various different smaller companies which were merged once FirstGroup had acquired them. In October 1995 FirstBus purchased the bus services in Fareham, Gosport and Portsmouth operated by People's Provincial. In April 1996 FirstBus purchased services in Portsmouth from Transit Holdings trading as Red Admiral & Blue Admiral, which in turn had taken over the Portsmouth CityBus operations under the title of Southdown Portsmouth. This operation was then put under the control of People's Provincial and the whole renamed to First Provincial. In 1997 FirstBus purchased Southampton Citybus and after a brief period of using the Citybus name, the operation was renamed First Southampton. In 1999 First Southampton merged with First Provincial〔(Companies House extract company no 2110585 ) First Provincial Buses Limited formerly The Provincial Bus Company Limited〕 to form First Hampshire, later being renamed First Hampshire & Dorset. The company is facing growing competition in Southampton from Go-Ahead owned Bluestar. In 1999 FirstGroup purchased Southern National with the Dorset operations merged to form First Hampshire & Dorset in 2003. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「First Hampshire & Dorset」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
