Incoming Enviros hit the streets

The Enviro swap continues


First Devon and Cornwall have taken further advantage of First Glasgow's push to standardise on Volvo/ Wright vehicles by swapping a few more of their Volvo Wright single deckers for three of Glasgow's Enviro 500 double deckers. The first three are being placed into service on the 15 today and it is hoped that more will be released by Glasgow later in the year when they will be moved onto the revamped Tavistock services. fdc-15
