Plymouth City Transport Preservation Group

The group was formed in July 2006 following a meeting held aboard 131 'Henry Winstanley' with Ralph Delbridge, Gareth Ruby and Ian Byrne in the former Tramshed at Milehouse Depot, Plymouth.

Our aim is to preserve the history of Plymouth City Transport through vehicle preservation and archiving of photos, documents and artifacts and making the vehicles accessible to all.

We plan to conduct regular member tours around the City akin to the 'Ghost Tram' of the 60's as well as attending local shows and events.

Super Park and Ride Model

ukbus 3019 a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the gasket windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The model also features excellent detailing, inside and out, including an opening engine door, showing the detailed, environmentally friendly Euro 3 engine. All grab rails feature inside the replica and in their correct positions. The construction method of this replica permits realistic-looking front and rear lights – in particular the front headlamp / indicator assembly whose headlamp is transparent and indicator is translucent.

Costs just £15.00 from Plymouth CityBus

Mercedes Citaro Model

ukbus 5008 represents fleet number 82 (WJ55 HLK). This Mercedes Citaro is one of eight such vehicles that were delivered to this municipal operator in autumn 2005. They wear the revised Citybus livery and logo and have been put to work on the important City centre Plympton Services 21 and 51 where these striking buses are helping to entice “die hard” motorists from their cars and onto public transport.

The Mercedes-Benz Citaro ukbus 5008 is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the square-mounted, double-glazed windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on the ukbus 5008 model is its extensive portrayal of handrails. The headlight / indicator units at the front and indicator / tail light units at the rear are made of individual components to look more realistic.
