      Still on as far as I am aware. I think it will happen as replacement Enviro 200s arrive from London. No idea how soon this is Likely to be.

    The only enviro 200's I am aware that are being replaced at Go-Ahead London are 07 plate ones at River Road (from route 364), but the contract does not start until November (unless the vehicles arrive earlier). These are the same length as native ones (once the door has been removed). There may also be some smaller ones available from September, but these are only 9.6m long, and may be kept (as they are 64 plate).

      Local rumours suggest it is the 64 plate Enviro 200’s that are coming to Plymouth.
      Perhaps it is best to wait and see what actually arrives.

    10x NEW 69 plate Enviro 200 MMC replacing the 10 eclipses. 100-108 going to Go North West, 109 will be used for spares.
    We are getting 2010 Enviro 200 from London that will replace 82-87 - also going to Go North West.

      Where on earth do you get your information from!

  4. Spotterz_DevonHD6 June 2019 at 21:26

    The Enviro 200 MMCs is bus driver gossip (NEW) The eclipses is obvious informaton. 109 is withdrawn/dead - They can't find the right parts so it's going spare. I've found out about the second hand GAL ones from a few people. 82-87 is also driver gossip. The E400 City is on a buisness information booklet thing

      What exactly has happened to 109?? Surely as it's a fairly common B7RLE/Wright, parts must be obtainable.....interesting the comment about 100-108 coming up to Go North West, is this confirmed??

    3. didbygraham9 June 2019 at 10:45

      Not sure that anything can be described as officially confirmed but it does look like this is planned to happen. As always its a case of wait and see what happens..

      Despite your superior knowledge 109 is repaired not “withdrawn/dead and going for spare”

    PCB is also due an E200EV demo for the Devon Business Show on Wednesday 12th June 2019.

    If what Mr Darlington is suggesting is true then it would hint at fleet standardisation for PCB on the Enviro range therefore eliminating the need for non standard types such as the Volvos, Scanias & gas buses

    Bus 80 was out this afternoon with L plates on it, wonder if 80 and 81 are becoming driver training vehicles. With 82-87 going north, that perhaps takes care of the whole batch

  9. Spotterz_DevonHD13 June 2019 at 02:18

    They already are training vehicles, L plates, glass removed behind cab and behind seats behind doors.
