A few bits of news to catch my eye tonight:
It is reported on the South West Bus Group that Plymouth Citybus have ordered another 8 Dennis Dart MPDs for Mercedes 709 replacement. I am a bit surprised they have returned to Dennis as they were not that happy with the last batch - but then I guess there isn't much choice for this sized bus at the moment as they have already rejected the Optare Solo as unsuitable.
The ex Park & Ride 205 now in standard livery is being trialled on several of the Merc Mini routes and is ok on all but two of them (18 and 22).
Citybus have also confirmed that they are taking over the 52 from FDC (Saltash end - to be renumbered the 152) and the Tavistock 98s. Looks like nothing for Glenholt residents!
I haven't reported much on Air Transport in Plymouth so to start us off try this story
