After so much anticipation, First has finally announced the start date of the
first "ftr" operation. The first service, operated by First York and supported
by York city council, will start on 8th May, using 11 Wright Streetcars. Another
operation is expected to start in Leeds later this year, by converting cross-
city rt.4 (Whinmoor - Pudsey) to ftr operation.
