First South Yorkshire〔(Companies House extract company no 2332529 ) First South Yorkshire Limited formerly Mainline Group Limited formerly The Hallam Bus Company Limited〕 is the largest bus operator in South Yorkshire. It is a subsidiary of FirstGroup. ==History== In 1989 the ''Mainline'' brand was introduced by South Yorkshire Transport. Buses operated with ''Sheffield Mainline'' names in a bright red and yellow livery, replacing the previous beige and red livery. It was followed by ''Doncaster Mainline'' in a silver grey and red livery relieved by a light yellow band and finally ''Rotherham Mainline'', whose buses were painted blue and yellow. In 1992 the locality was dropped when ''Mainline'' became the standard fleetname across South Yorkshire. A common red and yellow livery with silver and blue bands was introduced. In November 1993 South Yorkshire Transport sold ''Mainline'' in a management buyout.〔(South Yorkshire Transport Authority Sells Off Bus Company to Staff ) ''Local Government Chronicle'' 18 November 1993〕 Shortly after Stagecoach purchased a 20% stake in the company, however this was sold in 1995 to FirstBus. In 1998 FirstGroup purchased the remaining 80% shareholding and renamed the business ''First Mainline''. Buses were repainted in a simplified red and yellow livery, reminiscent of the original 1989 ''Sheffield Mainline'' livery. In 2000 ''First Mainline'' was rebranded as ''First South Yorkshire'' and the corporate white, blue and pink livery introduced. In 2013, First South Yorkshire began to paint buses into First's new ''Olympia'' corporate livery, which is an updated version of the former livery. 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 South Yorkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
