I understand that the new Mellors are to upgrade some of the minis taken over from Travel Cornwall

Plus the 3 Flix coaches 27001-27003 1769633244 I am now advised only the Flix coaches will be joining Go South West

Go South West were struggling with maintenence before 20 extra school contracts were gained plus Truro School and compeditive services. Maybe with these extra maintenence bases things will improve.

GSW are only taking on full time drivers. First I believe had quite of few part time drivers. First drivers have also to be trained to "Smile", not that I am saying they don't already.

Plymouth City Bus cannot have the new fleet numbers has their computer only takes 4 digits. Dartline's is more modern and takes 5

4048 out in service today on the 25 in Plymouth. Downstairs seating laid out very well with plenty of leg room and 12 forward facing seats on the level

I know GSW have been struggling with maintainance for a while. If they could take on Camborne & Summercourt garages and some ex First fitters perhaps things would improve.

As above these are the only buses owned by Cornwall apart from the P&R Citaro's operated by First.

Only 2000-2015 are owned by Cornwall Council
