I was going to say sumit about route branding but can figure out the 83 or pcb. On another note has anyone seen the hitler video that depicted hitler as Richard Stevens MD PCB so funny but so true. Lol
i didnt depict richard stevens as hitler at all. it was a comparison to germany trying to take over the world, like citybus are taking over plymouth. richard actually thought it was brilliant! only took me 10 mins.
First picture has Torpoint branding, vehicle used on a Plymouth service. Second has First Kernow but operating the 83. Third is a Park and Ride branded vehicle on Normal stopping service to Torpoint. Fourth branded for Northern Connect operating services to Plympton. And finally Plymouth Citybus operating to Cornwall.
Here, just to widen the topic of buses in different liveries/odd places, here are some oddities that occured

that park and ride bus is still based in torpoint and usd on torpoint routes mainly think it been painted in park and ride fleet just show first run it
A couple of days ago I was at the George P&R waiting for the Target Travel bus to Derriford - a pink-fronted bus headed north on the main road (Tavistock?), while a 93-branded bus came in for the PR1. But at least your pictures show that it is not only First which has a problem.
Incidentally, waiting at Derriford to go back, a First 15 stopped well out in the road, was ignored and left empty. I got on the Target PR3 which went up to the George with a standing load. They appear to be serving Marjons by turning round at the airport.

well i know that the chatter bus is now done and should be ready to be used. the driver training buses will have their own livery when all of the normal buses are done. also they are thinking of the Go Cornwall Buses being swooped as a priority

Third is a Park and Ride branded vehicle on Normal stopping service to Torpoint.
Fourth branded for Northern Connect operating services to Plympton.

spot on!
Deleteall are either branded but on wrong route, or not branded for the route they are on.
Of course, 32760 used to be used regularly on Torpoint services as shown here

It's painted for park and ride because torpoint drivers have some trips on park and ride in their duties. Actually quite sensible for first.

Anyone know what's nice for swoops with CityBus. 39 is done, it was said it was 42, but that is on the road today. And 221 has been completed too
