I think you have to remember that the acceptance on First Kernow was a concession agreed by First on a commercial basis which is in my opinion generous to a fault. I believe a similar concession is the case from pcb for Callywith campus buses although of course to date this has been of limited...

The Transport for Cornwall branding was wanted by the Council and they have possibly provided for this branding in the contracts. Whether First adopt the branding is a matter for a discussion between them and the Council for their commercial services. A good example is on the West Midlands...

No I am of the view both from the FK and GCB point are already advanced. Some bus allocations are in place already and induction of drivers to gcb done. If it is a slow start it won't be a bad thing as any teething issues can be ironed out. But it maybe a problem for FK since the climate may...

Firstly, full sized singles are good for 21/22 plus evening 27 in St Austell area. Secondly you assume no juggling with the existing pcb fleet. For example the 25 round the Barbican and West Hoe is usually one of buses 160/1 or 250/1 all short Enviro 200 but Sundays are full sized enviro as...

Rather than the first website you are better off with travel wise

Well we will see who is delusional, time will tell.

Mmh quoted the 100000 to an operators meeting when we were talking about tree strikes. Roselyn advised of a tree strike in Mevagissey as well. We all took mmh 100000 as the relevant tree strike glass cost he, stated it did not include anything other than the glass cost

Don't doubt it, I don't like solos but they do a job

My information comes from qualified tree surgeons who are my clients

Volvos have good pull, and while the single decks are good pulls and are long the standard length Darts at 11 or 12 metres are OK if the bus is positioned in the right was as our Busways drivers found at Tregonissey Cross roads

Mmm on the visits to the outlying depots the managers probably try their best but no they don't get to those areas often and the managers don't have enough information.

More the one in Bristol really though the issue was it being a taxi business really, and cross subsidising a cash hungry taxi business with a cash generative bus service.

Probably find Jo Bamford has moved forward on that as he will be on the hybrids

Wrong again MMH advised that meeting I was in that tree damage to buses and the replacement glass to rectify cost FK £100000in glass a year alone. True parked cars are also an issue but as you can see overhanging trees cost money

No I have not got it wrong, you are right the owner is liable but you can just cut it down and you have to get the council to issue the warning letter to tell them if they do not resolve the issue on 90 days then it will be cut and they will be held liable for the cost. You also need to employ a...

Depends on what is in the back, you can have Daimler in stteetdecks, and I stress the Northern stteetdecks handled the Holly torrain very well

Less so on the hill to penwithick on the 27. But there is another issue to deckers on some routes like the 27 and routes round St Agnes and that is overhanging trees a situation highlighted to the council by Mark Howarth. I pointed that history out to MMH and he did not know the history...

I think your comment depends where you are based. If you are at Summercourt or Camborne he probably does but a big proportion of drivers are based at bases like Bodmin, Eden, Truro, Falmouth, Helston, Penzance which with the responsibilities he has he can't possibly cover. Again chatting to...
