  1. I have actually changed my mind about a comment I made yesterday that the new Plymouth City Coach livery is change for change’s sake. Having now seen M305 KOD and N307 UTT in the old CityCoach livery and now in the revised Moss livery the change is striking and as you said yesterday the new liveries are certainly very smart. I now realise that the old livery makes the City Coaches look a bit tired, whereas the blue somehow uplifts and modernises these coaches and makes them look more vibrant (if that is the correct word to use?). Also if there is to be more regular swapping of vehicles between the 2 Go-Ahead fleets, I guess it makes sense for the liveries to be similar and now if I had to choose I would go for the blue every time!
