Since Stagecoach took over the First Operations there, i was just wondering if Stagecoach brought some of the first buses as my friend is saying there was some First livery buses (Stagecoach logo applied) still running about

As part of the takeover agreement Stagecoach have hired a few buses for use on Plymouth Park & Ride until new buses enter service.  The new buses (Enviro 400s) are apparently expected very shortly, so the hired buses will soon be returned to First.  I understand they will go to Cornwall to help see off the remaining Olympians there.

They keep chopping and changing their main fleet of Tridents as well judging by the recent fleetcards.
