Fantastic, if only Transdev operated in north Wales!
Indeed. The OP may find the First South West thread of interest, particularly the last 20 or so pages(!) Off the top of my head it includes not only a slight rework of the existing Atlantic Coaster open top services in Cornwall, but also new open top routes in Exeter and Falmouth. An 'Exmoor Coaster' will also run between Watchet, Minehead and Lynmouth, which I think has in the past been a seasonal service operated by Quantock? There's also to be a 'Dartmoor Explorer' route between Plymouth and Exeter via Tavistock, but that will be closed-top. There's also a 'Daytripper' brand being launched. There may well be other bits that those more in the know can expand on! They seem to be really going for it though.

There have been numerous reports of most holiday accommodation in the West Country being fully booked for this summer. I’ve also heard that hotels and self catering establishments are now getting fully booked right through September and into October. Buses could have a very busy summer. I’ve got a week booked in Penzance at the beginning of October. I wonder if there is any chance that the summer timetables might need to be extended this year to accommodate extra passengers beyond the first week in September.
Up to the weather gods.
You take your chance with the weather for holidays in the UK. Sometimes in the weather in Cornwall during September and October can be better than during July and August. Perhaps not always warmer, but often drier.
