    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    The PSV Preserved Bus publication lists everything known as at March 2018 -and whilst there will be many additions (and vehicles sold out of preservation) this will save you time to act as a "start" list and avoid loads of silly "0ne off" messages
