 Bretonside goes Green! |
| There was a very nice surprise in store for me when I popped into Bretonside on Saturday - A nice bright green Dennis Trident! WK51CAL is now Western Greyhound 442 It came to WGL from City of Oxford (Go-Ahead Group) where it was registered R6OXF but was originally Go Northern 3892 NK51UCV and is one of 4 that Western Greyhound have purchased. It seems that they will be regulars on the Plymouth - Callington - Launceston services 576 so we will be seeing them in Plymouth quite often. I must get out for a day trip in the summer!  At first I was a bit annoyed at the bright orange coach next to it, as it prevented me from getting the shot I wanted, but I actually really like the way it has brought out the orange band in the livery.  Western Greyhound - the new and the old! S30ARJ is perhaps the oldest of the Varios still in service these days.  Bretonside probably hasn't seen this much green since Western National NBC days! |

I was having a meal in the Union Rooms with my other half at the time, and was pleasantly surprised to see this go past and down Union Street. Could very well take a trip to Callington on one of these in the summer :)
