Citycoach

Although Plymouth Citybus has withdrawn and sold a few of its older coaches a short while ago it is still actively in the tours market and on Saturday was using Volvo coach 315 for promotions work in the City Centre

Other news reaches me that Citybus have possibly dabbled in a bit of route branding on one of the Mercedes 709s with lettering appearing for the 152 service on one of them. Full details yet to be confirmed but I will be keeping an eye out for this one!

National Express

Typical of the National Express fleet operated by First Devon & Cornwall these days is WK02UMC which was new in July 2002 as fleet number 2703. Now numbered 20520 in the national fleet numbering system adopted by First Group.
Its a Volvo B12M with Plaxton bodywork. FDC have really tidied up their act when it comes to National Express operations over the past few years. A while back you could get all sorts of stuff sent out, much of it looking really scruffy, but First sent down quiet a few Volvo Plaxtons from the Bristol based coach fleet to give a very standardised fleet of coaches. Boring for the enthusiast but I am sure National Express are a lot happier.
Of course National Express itself is just a small part of National Express Group these days.
The previous corporate image of the fleet is illustrated in a series of free fotos offered for download at freefoto.com.

National Express 1

National Express WX51AJY is a typical example of the standard coach now in use by First Devon & Cornwall. With several in the fleet new to FDC and quite a few brought in from First Coaches, Bristol including this one which arrived down here in January this year.
