I've taken the liberty of adding it to our forum diary, and wish the organisers all the best for the event. By the way, I used to live in Plymstock, and rode into Plymouth on such buses. ;D Title: Re: Celebrate buses in Plymouth 5 September 2015 Post by: Palfers on September 05, 2015, 10:09:47 well today's the day the last day of operation for first bus in plymouth as of tomorrow stagecoach southwest will be in charge!

The bus stop signs and timetables were changed overnight (05/06 September) on my local route which is changing from First to Plymouth Citybus :D

The bus stop signs and timetables were changed overnight (05/06 September) on my local route which is changing from First to Plymouth Citybus :D All three operators seem to have worked together to ensure it all works well. I'm surprised the competition marketing authority haven't interfered though, as competing routes have been withdrawn with stagecoach only taking on routes not already operated by Plymouth citybus. Stagecoach and Plymouth citybus don't appear to have any competing routes.
