A Rosie life after Plymouth?

Plymouth Citybus continues to get rid of the older double deckers. The latest to go are two of the East Lancs Volvos 401 and 417 both going to Roselyn Coaches. 401 is for service in Cornwall while 417 was towed down and is expected to be used for spares.

  3. 405 still in service today, think it was a 28a but can't remember exactly.
    At least one blue flash bus still here and I think a red Volvo too

  4. The third photo shows XBY, a vehicle which didn't come to Plymouth, and is therefore not 401 (XBX) before it came, 402 was XCC, 403 was XCE, 404 was XCG and 405 was XCH
