With thanks to Mark Bailey:
Four of the new Plymouth Citybus 26-reg Wright StreetDeck Electroliners have been out in service today - 7051, 7053, 7054 and 7057. I have attached shots of 7051 (BF26 ZTU) on service 21 at St Budeaux, and 7054 (BF26 ZTX) on service 16 at King's Tamerton.
A mixed bag of notices over the last week or so. The First South West entries seem to be catch ups going back to last January, presumably a tidy up prior to all their registrations being closed down next year.
The only one in the future is National Express 404 in January !

The 50/51 is now seeing these a bit more along with the Enviro City’s. I will miss the Scanias but happy to see the back of the London E400’s!
