Coach on loan at PCC

Plymouth Citycoach have currently got this Volvo B9 on loan for a trial purposes. This is the first coach I can re-call being on trial at PCC for many years, so its good to see that Go Ahead may be taking a real interest in the Plymouth City Coach side of the business. It was feared that this may come to an end after the council decided to sell up, but credit to Go Ahead, they've maintained it very well indeed, still providing regular excursions throughout the year, as well as providing the private hire capabilities. It will be interesting then to see if some investment will be made in the coaching side in years to come. Of course Go Ahead have also kept hold of the coaching business at Damory which has seen modernisation and a new livery, which is certainly very clean and striking. I'll be keen to see how PCC will develop in the years to come. Photo has come thanks to Tom Pearce.
