It was 33475 as I was travelling on the 17:45 2 to Falmouth (as far as Sainsburys in Eastern Green though!). In addition I travelled from Pendeen to Penzance on the A17 in the morning on Tinner Enviro400 MMC 33461. A treat to travel on it on my local route. I mentioned to the driver I had not...

I have no criticism at all of branded buses being used on other services as I am a regular bus user, as neither myself or my wife drive. We live in a rural area, and rely on well maintained buses to provide us with a reliable service. My post was simply to highlight the fact that branded...

Travelled to Flambards on the 2 yesterday (31st July). Further evidence of route branding not working with the outward journey provided by Tinner ADL Enviro 400MMC 33469 (WK66CDY) and the return journey by U1/U2 Blue ADL Enviro 400MMC 33478 (WK66BZC). Later the 17.45 A1 to Land's End was in...

As a resident of Pendeen - I agree with excellent landscapes to photograph buses.

Was told yesterday that rebuilding of the bus station at Penzance has been delayed by incorrect height of the approach to the stands. Yesterday tarmac was being removed and relaid to rectify this. Galvanized railings were also being erected. The waiting room bus 40570 has been removed and was...

A lovely VRTSL3/6LXB UWV614S new to Southdown. Rode on it to Land's End and back on Easter Sunday, did struggle on the ascent out of Sennen Cove.

I too have waited with my wife at Porthcurno for a bus to Land's End which was an hour late when services used to run every two hours. The Cable Station Inn is a welcome waiting area!

The newly converted Dennis Tridents were in service for the first time today on the Atlantic Coaster. I photographed the first departure of the year from St Ives (0915) at Portherras Cross provided by 32104 (MIG6096) and the 0946 from Land's End at Higher Bojewyan provided by 32103 (MIG4760)...

Thanks for the information, I did not ask the staff member (who I have seen as a revenue protection officer) what it was up to. Maybe a school contract or staff transport?

Witnessed yesterday for the first time the organised chaos at Penzance bus station. As mentioned buses are entering the bus station through the exit which is sometimes leading to a bus jam. As I arrived the last remaining post which held the sail roof was removed. A member of staff told me that...

The 10/17 merge running as a 17/17A to St Just (17) and via Pendeen (17A) ceased during 2010 possibly at the start of the winter timetable and became 10/10A certainly by February 2011 when I moved to the area.

Great news. It just shows what a forum like this can achieve for the mutual benefit of operators, customers and enthusiasts alike.

Volvo B7TL 30877 (W732DWX) was in Pendeen this morning on the 17, again blinded as a 10. The case of incorrect route numbers may start causing some confusion to some overseas visitors shortly!

When I mentioned possible time table changes to a driver on route 17 last Monday, he said he was not aware of any!

That is interesting news as my father who also photographs buses and coaches for me lives within Emsworth & District's operating area. I will tell him to track them down.

My wife and I moved to Cornwall 6 years ago. We have not owned a car since we met 9 years ago and still manage to reach most places we need to (although obviously takes a lot longer). The local community bus is very useful. Wife is lucky in that her job is within our village. Those places not...

Thanks

I also saw 32873 on the 17A from a passing bus while it was en route from Madron to Penzance on the 17A yesterday. In the Wharfside car park in Penzance yesterday was ex Western National Bristol VR VTH942T about to commence its last journey in the UK to Plymouth. It was booked on the...

Can someone tell which which HST power cars (power cars and rake in GWR livery) were on today's (15th November) 13:03 service from Penzance to Paddington. Thanks.

It may have already been posted on the forum here, but does anyone know the exact date the new AD E400 MMC's will be entering service. In addition will there be a PR launch? If so where?
