Well the good news is this bus is no longer in red livery so wont be causing so much confusion for Plymouth passengers anymore, but the repaint of 41795 into what appears to be the base colour for the new First Bus livery does suggest that these buses are here to stay, retaining their centre door too. Hopefully it will soon get a decent destination display at least. They clearly dont want to spend a lot of money on Plymouth at the moment!

Is First really that short of buses that they need to send out a part-repainted bus in the muck and rain? I assume the darker blue and pink colours will be painted and are not just vinyls stuck on but to be honest whichever.... talk about making life more complicated....
