Four In Four Out

Good evening everyone

You are probably wondering what the 'Four In Four Out' refers to.

The 'Four In' refers to the fact that in Target Travel (a bus operator in Plymouth), four incoming Volvo Presidents have joined Target Travel. All buses were new to London Central in 2000 and Plymouth Citybus between 2011 and 2013. They are:

 X556 EGK (ex-Plymouth Citybus 422, ex-London Central PVL156)
 X557 EGK (ex-Plymouth Citybus 423, ex-London Central PVL157)
 X558 EGK (ex-Plymouth Citybus 424, ex-London Central PVL158)
 X705 EGK (ex-Plymouth Citybus 441, ex-London Central PVL155)

And the 'Four Out' refers to the four Leyland Olympians that they are replacing.

19 - GIG 7159
20 - L116 VDM
21 - L969 UTU
22 - P488 UFM

All these buses were new to Dublin Bus between 1994 and 1997, then Happy Als in 2007, and Target Travel in 2011.
