This is probably there for the branding to be removed in preparation for the new vehicles. 15789,92,95,96 have already been done.Just seen a Torquay hop 12 branded Enviro400 in Exeter depot, one of the old ones. I wonder what it will be doing in Exeter?

Where are they going? Exeter or staying with Torquay?
Could be good!I hear 5 to Exeter with most of the rest to Barnstaple.......
That's also what I have heard, although I think a small number are due to stay in Torquay for general use.I hear 5 to Exeter with most of the rest to Barnstaple.......
That was 37008.I noticed a enviro 200 on the Bristol 77 today which had Megabus advertising all over it. To me it seemed like it could easily be confused for a actual Megabus
Those were likely 15306/7/8/10 but more should be joining them soon.Also present were at least 4 Hop 12's but no identifacation was possible.

19569-72 from Torquay are currently arriving at Exeter ready for transfer to Merseyside, with 37440-44 from Merseyside are due to be transferring to the South West for operation out of Plymouth depot.
18071, 18112/4/5 from Exeter are now in Torquay to temporarily replace 19569-72 there. 10499-503 have transferred from Plymouth to Exeter with Exeter likely to transfer some vehicles to Plymouth in return. There will be some gaps in the fleet but these gaps will be filled by the old hop12s eventually.

15317 & 15318 left Plymouth this afternoon and 15788 had arrived.New E400 MMC/Scanias should be introduced into service on route 12 (Newton Abbot - Brixham) tomorrow.

I don’t believe they are particularly interested in growing. They’ve cut back service frequencies.
My suspicion has always been they wanted the depot for megabus and the falcon they were planning at the time,
They’ve kept the 3 routes Plymouth Citybus weren’t interested in, the lucrative park and rides, and the very busy saltash to plymstock corridor.
Can anyone shed any light on what routes the ex Chester E200 MMC’s (37440 - 37444) operate on?
I have not seen any of them in Plymouth during three visits in the last month.
Do you mean service 3 (Plymouth - Kingsbridge - Dartmouth) or X64 (Totnes - Dartmouth). I have not seen them on the 3 on recent visits to Plymouth.
Yep, the Plymouth to Dartmouth service.

The few photos on Flickr do indicate that they are allocated to that route.
