    First Southwest/Truronian have moved their operating base in Plymouth, and now operate from Citybus depot at Milehouse.
    2 or 3 Gemini and a Levante currently based in Plymouth.
    Also, Due to our Open Top Lolyne 361 Breaking, at short notice we have got First Kernow's/Truronians Volvo Olympian Open Top 34137 on loan to us for the OCS

      So did First move from Oakleys Lee Moor to Chelson Meadow next to Stagecoach and now again to Citybus at Milehouse?

      Thanks. I was confused as a couple of First buses were seen by SC drivers parked in a yard next to theirs a while back, sparking SC driver rumours that SC was selling back to First. The local SC manager even sent a staff memo to say the rumour definitely wasn't true.

    CITYBUS FLEET UPDATE
    Truronian 34137 is now tracking on our bustimes.org page, we also have been confirmed by jason beverley that Bristol VR ECW frankie will also provide private hire cover for Dennis Trident East Lancs 361 which is currently off road and may be withdrawn as yet TBC. Interesting is that this vehicle type was never operated by Plymouth only East Lancs day Leyland Olympian. The only other Northern Counties bus operated I believe was the only second hand Atlantean aquired 172 SND468X.

    @ anon 21 July at 1600 Yes but you can't rush these things. Did First move out due to Oakleys PI into vehicle maintenance?
