31 July 2007

                                FirstGroup plc                                 

                           Voting Rights and Capital                           

In conformity with the Transparency Directive's transitional provision 6 we
would like to notify the market of the following:

FirstGroup plc's capital consists of 438,278,798 ordinary shares with voting
rights. FirstGroup plc holds 3,272,378 of its ordinary shares in Treasury.

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in FirstGroup plc is 435,006,420.

The above figure (435,006,420) may be used by shareholders as the denominator
for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify
their interest in, or a change in their interest in, FirstGroup plc under the
FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
