On her way to Plymouth

I suspect that some, if not all of the older double deckers will be for use in Plymouth covering for some of our newer Enviro 400s working in Cornwall pending delivery of new buses. I quite fancy some of the Scanias on the 50/51s!

    2. There will always be buses that haven’t been in service for a while and for many reasons, servicing, MoT’s, breakdown repairs, bodywork repairs, repaints, etc, etc, etc. This is why bus companies have spare buses to cover for those that are off the road.

  5. 705 had already been out in swoops livery, but then became accident damaged soon after - hence in body shop.
