A Right Royal Dart

Plymouth Citybus are commemorating the Royal Wedding in April with this special livery on Dart 29. It will be on the road in this scheme until the end of the month. The original plan was to use Volvo B7 Plaxton President double decker 429 (reg tbc) numerically the last of the batch (420-429) due from Go Ahead London as it fitted with the date April 29th. This would have had the added advantage of being in the new Citybus livery so would certainly have stood out more. This plan had to be changed as the Volvos originally due in February have been delayed and have still not arrived in Plymouth.
In the nearside window you can make out the Royal Wedding Logo being used by Go-Ahead across their fleet nationwide. These are expected to be applied to a number of buses across the fleet over the coming weekend. I didn't get chance to photograph the rear of the bus which carries an advert for Plymouth Citycoach "You are all invited..." (Thursday 28th to Saturday 30th April)
