Plymouth Citybus 409 left Milehouse for the last time today – towed off for scrap.
So in time honoured tradition Plymothian Transit brings you a few photos of her days in service…
February 2011
July 2011
© Mark Collins July 2012 freshly repainted.
409 retained this livery, to the end. She was withdrawn from service back in 2017. She was initially donated to All Saints Academy, only to be reacquired for removal of any useful parts back in May this year.
Social Media Highlights…
Stentaway Road is currently blocked by lorries unloading portakabins. Two buses are stuck. Other #PCB5 services are diverted in both directions via Pomphlett Rd to Morrisons Roundabout until the road has re-opened

Is new Stagecoach branding moving a step closer?https://t.co/xQLbhwqHEo

Shame all the great branding is undone by incorrect vehicle allocation.

As much as I never liked the buses, itll be a shame to see these go. They've been around for what feels like forever
