On Sunday on the outskirts of Looe I drove past an unidentified London red liveried dart with the roundel sticker near the front door. Obviously ex London is it Plymouth city?

I have NEVER seen an Abellio bus like this. When were they in service? |

I have NEVER seen an Abellio bus like this. When were they in service? They were used from the late noughties on the 129 before Go Ahead took over the route, although due to their unreliability Dennis Darts (06 reg. 8473-77) were more often used as backup buses. |

Not a bad price either really. Be a great option for preservation as one of the first batch of hybrids to enter service |

I have NEVER seen an Abellio bus like this. When were they in service? They were in service on route 129 and then in 2011 the 129 was passed to London Central and they were transferred to Fulwell (TF) garage for route R70 briefly and then they were withdrawn. |

I have NEVER seen an Abellio bus like this. When were they in service? This is a Wright Electrocity. I believe they operated on the 129 a while back before the route converted to DDs. |

Be a great option for preservation as one of the first batch of hybrids to enter service Personally, I wouldn't touch it one bit - not because it's an extremely boring sounding vehicle but because it will need an updated hybrid system and possibly a new engine because they were dreadfully unreliable which is why the 06 reg Pointers were regularly subbing them and why eventually they were literally dumped away from London service. Go-Ahead had the same issues with their WHY's on the 360 but they were sent away to be reconfigured and are fine now  |
