FirstGroup was not the first group to get stakes in the UK's deregulated bus and train industries, but it is one of the nation's largest diversified transportation enterprises. The company operates the First Capital Connect, First Great Western, First ScotRail, and TransPennine Express railway franchises in the UK, and its trains carry about 270 million people annually. FirstGroup provides public bus services throughout the UK that carry some 3 million passengers daily. Its FirstGroup America unit provides school bus services, operates public bus systems, and manages vehicle fleets in North America. In October 2007 FirstGroup acquired Laidlaw International, North America's leading bus operator.
