Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated. I have been past Laira 4 times in the past 6 months and is the first time I had noticed it there!

Could someone help me identify the Class 70/8 in Colas livery which was parked at LAIRA Depot on 5th OCTOBER? I took a photo of it from a passing train, but it had front cowling removed from both ends so no number was visible!! Many Thanks.

My wife's friend saw one of the new fleet on the Long Rock Industrial Estate - a stones throw from the depot with a young female driver undergoing driver training.

Yes the green Solos have been based at Penzance since December 2014. The livery was on First Somerset buses where the 3 Penzance based Solos originated. In my 30 min period I saw Volvo B10M's 38001 and 38005.

A colourful 30 mins waiting in the bus station for the return bus home after shopping in Penzance today. Western National green liveried Dennis Trident 32716 (W716RHT) on 12.45 1A to Land's End; GWR Helston to Lizard Anniversary Chocolate & Cream liveried Dennis Dart 42860 (TT03TRU) on 12.50...

I thought it would not be long before the difference in price for the Ride Cornwall at £10 each per adult and the First Day ticket at £12 each per adult would be spotted by the travel companies involved. As far as I'm aware the cost of the Ride Cornwall ticket has not increased since at least 2009.

Saw and photographed 34041 in Market Jew Street, Penzance on 7th July (Thursday) working the 10A to Madron.

I have also had the experience of travelling on them on a clear Marazion bypass and surprised at their speed. The fact they remain in daily use and suffer very few failures is a credit to the mechanics who maintain them so well. Does anyone know of anyone who has plans to preserve one later in...

New Mousehole route liveried Optare Solo 53709 was operating during the evening after the Mazey Day festivities in Green Market, Penzance yesterday. Looks very nice!

I live on the 300 route and have never seen it used. Its only appearances as far West is Penzance where it has attended the Bus Running Day in April for the past 2 years.

Today Volvo B10M-50 Open Topper 38006 (D706GHY) was at Penzance in service on the 12:45 service 1 to Land's End. From appearances it looks like it has had its lower panels and wheels brightened up for its last year in service! Also seen today in Penzance - the first time I have seen this...

Olympian Open Topper 34137 was in service when I photographed it leaving Penzance on the 10:45 1A departure to 1A Land's End on 10th May last week.

During a conversation I had with a First Kernow employee during last Sunday's running day in Penzance, I was told the intention is that 300 will change back to the circular route last used in 2013. This means the same bus will be used Penzance-Land's End-St Ives-Marazion-Penzance, so no need to...

A few observations today. Ex Falriver Dennis Trident 33112 in Penzance on route 18. Volvo B12M-62 20504 (AO00RCU) arrived in Penzance on a driver training run as I passed it at 10:45. Later sister 20502 (AO02RBZ) was heading west on the A394 at Ashton also on driver training duties. At...

The programme for the Penzance Running Day is now available in the First Travel Centre, Penzance Bus Station for £4.00. I got mine this morning and was told they had arrived on Friday 8th April.

That is great news. My wife and I have travelled on this bus many times and was also a favourite of our friend's 8 year old bus mad son!! :D

Dennis Dart Alexander 42472 (T472YTT) is currently on sale on eBay (with a bid) for £1195. Collection from Taunton.

Saw 42875 (SN53KKE) this morning in Pendeen on the 10, the first time I have seen it since its advertising for Heart FM. It does carry this all over advert except for the front which is still in (old) First colours.

Saw 34138 today on the 1A in Market Jew Street, Penzance and in the sunshine 32716 resplendent in Western National green with First logos in between duties in Penzance Bus Station, deserving a wash.

Today saw coach 23208 travelling towards St Just at Leswidden Common on private hire? On Monday night (18th January) in Green Market, Penzance saw Olympian 34138 heading back to the bus station. Unable to see the route it was on.
