    I see the fleet clear out has started as predicted by "On the Buses" commencing the 7th July. First ALX 400s to be withdrawn are old stalwart 30877, ex Bath 32014 and 32284 . All three worked within the last few days and have been deleted from Bus Times app. 1625666579 Another casualty is ex...

    I despair to be honest that people choose to put incidents like this on a bus enthusiasts forum. Whilst it appears to be upsetting this is not the place for a discussion about it and their website surely deals with these type of incidents??? The fact that 37045 was the vehicle involved is of no...

    That wasn't the point I was making. Of all the Tridents left 072 and 182 see more use than all of the others so for that point alone surely must have something to do with reliability and performance? 1625247636 1625247749 Read into what "on the buses" quotes as business efficiency and that is...

    Also 33072 and 33182 appear to be used more than most and both look well kept so are obviously more reliable..33172 was quite tatty, not sure of the reasons for 33181(Poppy Bus)??

    Agree with some of that but from past experience of my many visits in the last few years the route for the Lands End Coaster out of Penzance is so much better to serve the seafront as it caters for the longer distance customers and the delays getting into and out of town severely affected the...

    I've just seen the excellent details posted , thanks for that. One last question, sorry!! The £28 weekly ticket. Is that valid on the open top services or does a separate ticket need to be acquired?

    Appreciate the reply and thanks. Still saying 16th for ALL services , presume that's a glitch as you previously stated Falmouth and Exeter tours starting slightly later on the 29th?

    Amazed that with only 3 days to go until these new services start that there are no announcements or advertising on social media or the company website regarding these apart from just the timetables?

    Hi Rich I'm not involved in this discussion as such but during my holiday I'm booked to go from Helston to Redruth at 1855 on a TFC service 34 and Traveline states from 28.03.21. Until further notice thus journey operates through and some in other direction as well. I'm confused.com now as...

    I will repeat what I said on Twitter that the guys have worked their socks off to achieve THE BIGGEST single Timetable change possibly in the company history and just coming off a Covid pandemic. As a scheduler myself I know how time consuming this can be and to achieve this by making Helston a...

    9 vehicles are needed for the Lands End service plus 1 spare in Penzance, so that's 10 in total plus the 5 needed for the Atlantic Coaster. Also the S1/2/3 services booked for open top when they start. 2 are needed for those.
