Gunnislake Bridge will be closed ..... The narrow single-lane bridge carries the only main road (A390) crossing the River Tamar between Saltash and Launceston, and is frequently damaged by heavy vehicles. Makes a change from vehicles striking the (now-removed) low railway bridge just up the hill at Gunny station. If it wasn't one it was the other. A select handful of vehicles managed to hit both on the same trip.

More cascaded vehicles are expected at Plymouth CityBus, this time they are former hybrid ADL Enviro400s from Oxford City that have been converted to direct diesel drive. These vehicles carried Select Registrations with Oxford City but have been exchanged for standard OE11 *** plates. These vehicles are likely to be stopgaps only until new electrics arrive in 2025/2026.
A Dartline Wright Streetlite (1227) has been loaned to Plymouth CityBus to cover vehicle shortages, it has appeared on route 59 which links a number of villages on the edge of Dartmoor with Plymouth.

Some snippets: - Slightly out of area, but Stagecoach South West is taking over the Taunton Park & Ride service from 12th February after First (Buses of Somerset) announced it was pulling out of the contract. Stagecoach SW will operate three double-deckers at 20-minute intervals and these will be based at its Tiverton outstation, some 20 miles from Taunton. <snip> Photo (not mine) of former Torbay Scania/Enviro400 MMC 15327 in Taunton Park & Ride livery, but drafted in to work the Exeter Chiefs rugby shuttle service C (Exeter St Davids Station - Sandy Park Stadium) on Saturday 20th April: flic.kr/p/2pLPzyJ
