Bus Spotting without leaving the house

Google Street View now live for Plymouth

Yesterday was a day that many of us have been waiting for, as it was the day that Street View was finally turned on for Plymouth, along with much of the rest of the UK. Although Google have tried to blur registration numbers and peoples faces you can do a fair bit of bus spotting etc on the streets of Plymouth as can be seen below.

Affecting services 7, 15, 17 and 83/84/86. Thanks for your patience. Citybus on Twitter / Facebook 09 Mar 11:45 After several weeks Holmwood Avenue in Plymstock has reopened allowing our popular 5 and 5A services to revert to their normal route. Hopefully this will save you a long walk! We are pleased to be back for you and look forward to your continued support. 13:45 Taunton Avenue is blocked by an accident in which a van has overturned. We are advised that the road may be reopened by 4pm Sorry for any inconvenience this will cause. Buses will use Budshead Road and turn at the Green 14:56 Taunton Avenue has reopened and our 44 and 44A services are returning to their normal routes. Hope you weren't too inconvenienced. 10 Mar 16:08 We apologise but yet again the road works at Crownhill and the ongoing saga of Derriford Hospital traffic delays are causing major disruption to our services. These hold ups are entirely beyond our control and we share your frustration that we are unable to offer a reliable service to our customers 17:57 There is no improvement at Derriford with some buses not moving for 20 minutes. Traffic management is non existent. How you are supposed to get home and how we are supposed to run a service is beyond us. (You can also see a lot of unhappy comments especially from service 50 passengers. As I blogged yesterday I was caught up in this too, I dont blame Citybus though. Thursday evening traffic was moving freely, and there did seem to be staff on hand ready to control traffic out of Derriford if needed)
