The recent expansion of bus operations into Cornwall, had lead to a new corporate brand name - Go South West - being created to encompass our Plymouth Citybus and Go Cornwall Bus brands.
In April, Plymouth Citybus acquired operations in Cornwall with the start of an eight-year contract to deliver a network of Council-subsidised local bus routes that are essential to local communities but are not commercial viable. The winning of this contract effectively doubled the Go Ahead work force across Devon and Cornwall.
David Brown, Go Ahead Groups' Managing Director commented, 'As the Go-Ahead bus operations in the region cover both Devon and Cornwall, it made sense to create a company called 'Go South West'.
