Today ahs seen a few more of the Electroliners out and about and they have appeared on a few other routes, not just the 21s. 7013 was one of a couple out on 50 this morning, seen here at Derriford. Sadly for me the 51s were all in the hands of the London Enviros.
The only buses that carried best impressions livery were the 12 plare volvos

I must say I think 142 looks better in that livery than Go-Ahead corporate all-over red. Just my personal feeling. Do buses have to look the same all over the country? By the way, what's happening about the 5-digit nationwide renumbering?
ReplyDeleteI agree entirely. The Stenning livery was such a superior livery to its subsequent replacements. The original with the off white proper swoop was great, though 142’s repaint isn’t a bad go at all recreation.
DeleteAt least one electric was out on the 42 group yesterday (24th July), I didn't manage to identify it. A few Scania OmniDekkas are still holding on!
ReplyDeletegraham, there will be EV's on route 51 after September when PCC have trimmed back the hedgerow on Longbridge Road. At the moment they can't due to nesting birds.
