However the best news is saved until last

Target Travel have now repainted the first of their Volvo B7TLs  acquired recently from Plymouth Citybus, and I have to say they do look very smart indeed:

Target Travel new look

It will be nice to see this scheme rolled out onto other members of the fleet.

      there is plenty more to come, three mini buses should be going into the paint shop for the same livery and some more older buses being withdrawn like the park and ride Man and some of the older coaches and scrap buses

    I notice Citybus changes later in the month, service 14 withdrawn from Plympton? Is there a replacement service along Haye Road do we know ? Strange decision by council as new housing etc going up in this area and they put bus stops up a few weeks ago ... lol. Is there going to be a commercial service here now or Target perhaps ?

    Stagecoach 26034-26038 are shown as body numbers F266/01-05.
    This was on an original Falkirk build list, but was superceded by this job number switching to Scarborough. The body numbers F266/01-05 were then assisgned to UNO 513-517 SN65 ZGU/V/W/X/Y.
    Can you physically check the Stagecoach buses, please? Thanks. Ian

    One of the volvos is in the spray shop at CityBus - i think it is 108, first one to go into swoops.
    Is 109 next?
    Does anyone know what the next ones to be painted will be?

      I believe that the 2 Brighton Darts are now also due to receive swoops soon (and will be staying)
