Fleet News Plymouth Citybus

Thanks to Richard Smith I can bring you pics of the latest buses to join Plymouth Citybus:

Plymouth Citybus Incoming LDP267 and LDP271 have just arrived, couldn't find out when. Took a couple of poor record shots in the pouring rain. Hopefully get better shots next visit. Plymouth Citybus Incoming

    1. At least it is up and working again, after its issues. All painted to match the others too.
      Do we know what will turn to City College livery - if any. A couple of darts maybe.
      What is in the sprayshop after 485?

    2. 408 and 409 will remain in service. small buses (solo / mpd) only seem to be on the 10, 14, 25, 34a, Liskeard 74 and 79, and 72.

  2. A formal complaint has been issued to the Traffic Commissioner regarding PCB & a constant breach of health & safety with regards the newest E20D's, the plated standing capacity of 36 is wrong & trying cram 36 standees onto these buses isn't safe to do so particularly where the green flash ones are concerned

    1. The standing capacity of new buses is calculated by the manufacturer, who then has the bus approved by DVSA and a certificate issued. New buses often have several versions of the seating/standing capacity shown dependant on if the wheelchair and/or buggy bay the s being used.

    1. 27 was withdrawn but replaced 58 a few weeks ago at short notice. 58 now withdrawn round the back with the others.
