Agree about the white stripe. I think I've said on here before, I'm not a fan of the "swoop", and I think I've worked out why. If you look at the Stagecoach livery, or Brighton & Hove, or the ex-WG/PCB Solos in their new Go- North East livery, the stripe goes upwards as the bus goes past - the swoop goes down. It's very subtle and psychological, I know! What do you think?
I have seen this one on the road today, it and the otrhers are a total waste of money, i think the last time pCB bought white elephant buses was back in the 70's with the Nationals, Wright bodies B5TL's or the other MMC bodywork(similar to SC) would have been better plus the C MMC's are nice powerful motors

Still got spark on the top of the seats, but it will stray onto other routes
ReplyDeleteThat looks awful.
ReplyDeleteBit of topic but Target Travel have believed to of bought Plymouth citybus Scania's.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else noticed these buses seem woefully underpowered? Especially on hill stars around plympton...
ReplyDeleteThe livery doesn't suit these at all. The white stripe doesn't work. It needs to be removed.

Also should consider doing an A-Line coaches (Travel) fleet list too. A-line's routes seem to get forgotten about in the Cornwall Transit too.
DeleteIts on my (very long) to do list!
