Buses around Plymouth - the Christmas Day post of 2017
Merry Christmas everyone
Welcome to the Christmas Day post of 2017

A lot has happened in nearly 2 years of the blog, and a lot since the last Christmas day post in 2016.
We have seen a number of interesting things go on in Plymouth this year such as the following
- One operator that was operating at the start of the year but is no longer doing so is Jacketts Coaches. Their routes are now taken over by Plymouth Citybus as well as Target Travel.
- Target Travel continues to acquire second hand buses such as a number of Optare Solos which have joined the fleet this year.
- Stagecoach South West have been transferring buses from their Devon operations including on the 36 which got transferred to them from Plymouth Citybus.
- Plymouth Citybus have also been getting ADL Enviro 400H Cities for the 21 and 21A (The SPARK) and one spare one.
- There is also a MAN Ecocity that entered service in November with them (713)
- The old livery is going and buses are either getting repainted or are being withdrawn
Also with other organisations such as the PCTPG, the main headline was Jason Beverly who become appointed as the Chairperson and also they are moving to Milehouse. I also hope to get more involved with them in 2018.
Other highlights included a tour around Milehouse which I really enjoyed. Many thanks to all involved for making this possible.
And also it is a pleasure to develop the blog and the main development is the Buses around Plymouth Livestreams and hope to develop this more in 2018.
Also, there are some services run by Stagecoach South West (such as the 1, 2 and South West Falcon). More information can be found here
