In 1995 Badgerline group merged with GRT LTD (Grampian Regional Transport) and
from 1998 this company was known as First group. First, like Arriva, started to adopt
local company identities though they never carried on the vehicles - Thamesway thus
became First Essex, along with Eastern National.........and so the story goes full circle!
Services remain largely unchanged on route 100 (Chelmsford - Lakeside), though route
37 has been re-routed and re-numbered to 200. Route 269’s Thurrock Council contract
was lost to Imperial and the Lakeside - Chafford Hundred station shuttle is no more now
that the link bridge between the two is open.
