The buses will also be the first Citybus vehicles to be dressed in their new premium brand, which will be unveiled on Saturday September 28, on the Civic Piazza in Plymouth City Centre.

Citybus has just seen its customer satisfaction rating from independent group Passenger Focus rise six percent since last summer, alongside being awarded Investor in People status earlier in the year.
Plymouth Citybus’ Managing Director Richard Stevens said: “People in Tavistock have requested a Citybus provided service, which we are please to respond to. Knowing that comfort and reliability are the two most important factors on longer bus journeys, the introduction of high specification buses with good quality seats and internet access is a perfect solution”.
Further details about the new service will be released towards the end of August, in preparation for the launch on October 5.
