Have they subsequently entered into a sale and lease-back arrangement with a third party? I can't remember this being announced/mentioned previoysly. If so why such a short lease?Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-55854674439912921212021-02-02T16:23:38.881+00:002021-02-02T16:23:38.881+00:00Stagecoach are apparently pulling out of Plymouth ...Stagecoach are apparently pulling out of Plymouth in April when lease is up at the depot as they are still making a loss.

This advert said the posts were based out of The Ride (now Stagecoach's depot, but originally First).<br /><br />I think it's subsequently been explained that this was an error when the advert was generated with the old legacy address populated automatically, rather than the new (Lee Moor) address being used. Having experience of recruitment software (Taleo) I can well see how this might happen and how the canteen rumour mill might go into overdrive.<br /><br />As we now know those driver vacancies were for college work and the Dartmoor Explorer service.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-77060803345259397302021-02-01T21:11:30.143+00:002021-02-01T21:11:30.143+00:00I heard April and that First are about to return t...I heard April and that First are about to return to the city at same timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-52802498358059133592021-01-31T13:59:44.335+00:002021-01-31T13:59:44.335+00:00Anyone know if there is any truth in rumours of St...Anyone know if there is any truth in rumours of Stagecoach pulling out of Plymouth at all ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
