Citybus really do seem to be having problems with the 46/47 routes as these have changed more than any other routes over the past year or so.
I am a bit puzzled about the 45 as the service is down on VOSA as between City Centre and Devonport but it was this section of the route which was cut back in July last year so this may be a tidying up on VOSA or it is the Cattedown section of the route which is now going.
The current service 20 was set up from 6th June last year as part of the recasting of the Plympton network which seemed very unpopular at the time. The last change being the loss of early morning and evening runs on Sundays.

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few days. I seem to have pulled my shoulder muscle which kept me off work, and off my computer. Lots of rest, deep heat and brufen seems to be doing the trick though...
