@britbusworldcup @BusAndTrainUser Do you wonder why? We have a new bodywork van, visiting outstations to fit new panels on buses. Looking much better recently.

[Mark Collins @MarkGoSouthWest]

@BusAndTrainUser Only open Monday to Friday. Agree on logos. New buses have no logos on skirts for this reason. Looks like Cornwall was ‘tight’, you can see the reason for skirt damage.

Great morning @FlavourFestSW . Brunch came from the team on the @cityplym PL1 stand. I did well, no spills on my white shirt #flavourfest #plymouth

@GWRLuke @DCRailPart @GWRHelp @GoCornwallBuses @CornwallCouncil This is amazing. Great stuff 👍

[Mark Collins @MarkGoSouthWest]

@Plymouth_Live I think you mean ‘Tendered’ bus route? @coker1mark

[Mark Collins @MarkGoSouthWest]

@PhillipsNeil @BritishCycling Agree. Look at Sail GP. An event held on public water in The Sound, but a ticketed event.

[Mark Collins @MarkGoSouthWest]

@PhillipsNeil @BritishCycling A real hard commercial case, as it is a free to watch event. Funding needed from the bottom up, starting with kids involvement. My 7 yo has been offered football training at school, but no bike ability yet! 🤦‍♂️

Great to see our bus operating company, Go South West host Department for Transport Minister @RicHolden in Cornwall with @GoCornwallBuses. Highlighting their achievements and future plans in Cornwall for buses.

@GWRLuke @PlymUni @History_Ann @HistoryPlymouth @PlymouthHistor1 @plymouthbus I could be right with November / December 1999 then 😏

[Mark Collins @MarkGoSouthWest]

@AndrewWickhamGo @plymouthbus @WimborneTownFC The last time you will see it in blue. Repaint and new brand incoming. 👍

[Mark Collins @MarkGoSouthWest]

@Mikey10McCarthy @Plymouth_Live Ha ha, not one of mine. Issues is the depots become ice rinks if you wash buses and then they freeze.

[Mark Collins @MarkGoSouthWest]

Well done Team 👍

[The Go-Ahead Group @TheGoAheadGroup]

Go-Ahead's Graham Chafer and Roy Mooney are driving to Ukraine with a bus full of vital supplies to support the people of Ukraine.

They're travelling in one of Go-Ahead's newly acquired Dartline buses, full of medical supplies & Christmas gifts for Ukrainian families.

Great to be judging the regional Sea Shanty Championships. Can not wait until the #WSSC in Plymouth in 2023. #watchthisspace

[Mark Collins @MarkGoSouthWest]

@GWRLuke @CornwallCouncil @GoCornwallBuses @by_Kernow Looks like Liskeard. 👍🚌

[Mark Collins @MarkGoSouthWest]

A great addition to the family. Exciting times. 🚌 🌳

[The Go-Ahead Group @TheGoAheadGroup]

Go-Ahead expands in the South West after agreeing to buy Dartline, a bus and coach operator based in Exeter.

The new acquisition will help Go-Ahead build on the group’s position as a leading local transport operator in Devon and Cornwall.

@Eastreadingcom @GWRLuke @DevonCC @plymouthbus @StagecoachSW @GWRHelp The 306 / 176 is the same bus. So during college days there is a direct service. 👍
