Colourful Citybus Conformity

Five Photos for Friday...

We round off the week with photo feature. There was a time when the bus scene in Plymouth was heading towards a very bland conformity when both Plymouth Citybus and First were buying almost identical buses with Mercedes breadvans and Dennis Dart / Plaxton Pointers. One of the few ways to make this a little bit more interesting was to plaster the Darts with all over adverts. Luckily for us the buying policy for both companies soon separated out giving us different buses again. Representing the Plymouth Citybus Pointer fleet we have five T Reg Darts in advert wraps covering a period between May 2007 and March 2012.
