Buses Around Plymouth Christmas Day post

Good evening everyone and Merry Christmas

What a third year it has been on the blog

Within Plymouth a lot has happened - Target Travel has had an interesting year and has back its operations, Stagecoach have acquired buses from elsewhere and Plymouth Citybus have bought second hand buses from London.

As will be seen in the photos, we had snow in March (you read that right) and it was an interesting couple of days regarding the buses - they were scaled back.


Also the blog is going strength to strength with the livestreams now on Facebook as opposed to YouTube

Furthermore there has been a variety of photos from Exeter to Plymouth Coach Station and beyond
Overall I am really pleased with how 2018 has gone and I’m looking forward to another successful year next year
