Good evening everyone
Here is what I predicted and what really happened in 2017
Plymouth Citybus
- New double deckers (Wright Streetdecks, ADL Enviro 400MMC?)
They got ADL Enviro 400H Cities - 15 for the 21/21A which became the SPARK and 1 spare.
- Withdrawal of the remaining ex-London double deckers and possibly some of the Brighton ones because of these new double deckers
Some more of them have gone but the Brighton ones are still around- A futher batch of second hand single deckers to replace some of the Dennis Darts and for use on a new or existing coloured 'Flash' route
Not really - The remaining buses in the liveries dating from when Plymouth City Council owned Citybus and the ones in the 2011 livery will be repainted into swoops
Yes - but 7 is still on the roads in the Stenning livery
Stagecoach South West
- There will be a new 'Gold' route at some stage this year
Sort of - X38 rebranding- A few second hand buses will enter the fleet
A number of Tridents and Enviros transferred down this year- The 2/2A will have a route alteration at some stage this year
Yes there was.
Target Travel
- More newer buses to enter the fleet (such as another mini or full length ADL Enviro 200, an Optare Solo (original, maybe SR).
Yep, mainly Optare Solos (none of which are SRs)- At least one new route (possibly taking over a route from another company)
The 13 from Jacketts Coaches
Other operators
- Jacketts Coaches: reduced presence in Plymouth
They are out of business so yes
- Tally Ho: no change in Plymouth
Correct
- Countrybus: no change in Plymouth
Correct
Transportation scene around Plymouth
- More information on the refurbishment of the main station
Not really
Buses around Plymouth
- More photos for the blog at various bus events
Yep, like the Bus Users event in July 2017. Hoping to try and make it for the PCTPG Running Day next year (wasn't able to make it this year)
Predictions for 2018 will come in the next few days.
Thankyou very much for reading Buses around Plymouth during 2017.
