I have visited Plymouth on a number of occasions down the years and I always find something of interest.
Like many fleets, ‘Plymouth Citybus’ (part of the ‘Go-Ahead Group’) has a variety of brands within the fleet.
Possibly the most common is ‘citybus’.
PF06 ENL ‘Plymouth citybus’ No. 370 ‘city’ Scania N94UB / East Lancs
on ‘Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
New to ‘Thames Travel’ (another ‘Go-Ahead’ group company).
WX62 HHE ‘Plymouth citybus’ No. 707 ‘city’ MAN 18.270 EcoCity / Caetano
on ‘Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
New to ‘Anglian Bus’.
The next 2 images of buses built by the same builder seven years apart show that although a lot has changed mechanically, there is very little difference in appearance.

The Dennis Dart is alive and well in Plymouth with a number of operators.

I know that operators move buses around the various fleets within their group for a variety of reasons. I do wonder though about the economics of the exercise.
This particular bus, seen in Plymouth was photographed in Carlisle by me nearly 4 years ago.
According to Google maps, Carlisle is 388 miles away.
New to ‘Stagecoach North West’.
