On one hand, I'm pleased FDC is bringing (quite) new buses to Plymouth. On the other hand, these are the buses that are going to be used to give Citybus the squeeze..
ReplyDeleteI understand the remaining three buses of this batch 69251 to 69253 (YJ07WFT to YK07WFV) are also on their way to you shortly.
