Buses around Plymouth Presents ... Blue Monday

Good evening everyone

Today is Blue Monday. It usually means the most miserable day of the year, but with Buses around Plymouth it is the day where photos of blue buses are showcased on this blog.

First of all, here are some vintage buses from the PCTPG which are (or were) blue at some stage.

Of course, it wasn't just Plymouth Citybus with blue buses. Also Western National had blue buses - Western National had buses such as Dennis Dart L401 VCV

Then in 2006, First Devon & Cornwall bought 9 ADL Enviro 400s for their Park & Ride
Here is a photo of one of these buses (photo credits to Graham Richardson)

Although in the past Plymouth Citybus has had advert livery buses in blue (including ones not featured in this post),  there are in fact two buses (408 and 409) which are in Plymouth City College livery, and therefore, blue.

And of course Plymouth Citybus has a Blue Flash service

First it was operated by 4 ADL Enviro 400s

And 3 Volvo B7RLEs joined them in September 2014, a fourth in October 2014 and four more in Summer 2015. These would replace the above ADL Enviro 400s
