Sorry Class172 :razz:

 

[Class172]

The opportunity presents itself to take the last Wednesday train with First Great Western to St. Ives, which we board at 2158 and arrive at our destination at 2213.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We leave the railway station and take the four minute walk to the bus stop outside the Porthminster Hotel and board the 2255 First Kernow service 17 to Ludgvan (The Old Ship PH) that arrives there at 2312 on Wednesday evening

 

[ValleyLines142]

As expected, that appears to have been the last bus from that area, so we call it a night before boarding the 0717 First Cornwall/Kernow service 17 to Penzance (Bus Station), arriving there at 0730 on Thursday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We just meet the minimum connection time requirement and board the 0735 Travel Cornwall service 409 to Catchall (Bus Shelter) that arrives there at 0750 on Thursday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We seem to have been dumped in a settlement that only sees one bus a day, so we have no option other than to board the 1532 Travel Cornwall service 409 to Long Rock (Sainsburys), arriving there at 1557 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We leave the site of one supermarket and take the four minutes walk to the bus stop outside Morrisons supermarket where we board the 1608 First Kernow service 18 to Tuckingmill (Pendarves Street) that arrives there at 1656 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

In a much more urbanised area we don't have too long to wait before we board the 1706 First Cornwall/Kernow service 18 to Truro (Railway Station), arriving there at 1750 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We walk to the bus stop opposite to the railway station, where we board the 1817 First Kernow service 87 to St Agnes (Wheal Kitty) that arrives there at 1846 on Thursday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1947 First Cornwall/Kernow service 87 to Newquay (Bus Station), arriving there at 2050 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2135 First Kernow service 21 to Indian Queens (Lodge Way) that arrives there at 2158 on Thursday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 2252 First Cornwall/Kernow service 93 to Truro (Bus Station), arriving there at 2322 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Still time for a late evening bus ride, so we next board the 2335 First Kernow service U1 to Perranarworthal (Perran Foundry) that arrives there at 2350 on Thursday evening.

....First Cornwall/Kernow.....

There is a thread on the Buses and Coaches sub-forum with 2,159 postings that is titled First Kernow

We return to Truro Bus Station on the 0011 First Kernow U1 service arriving at 0027 Friday morning

Please see attached thumbnail. A thread, regardless of how many postings it has, does not give a true answer.

Hence why I played it safe and listed both the locally named title and the official correct title....

That appears to be it from Truro, but we don't have too drastically long to wait before we board the 0505 National Express service 504 to London, Earls Court (West Cromwell Road/Tesco), arriving there at 1225 on Friday afternoon.

First Kernow is part of First South West, which in itself is a subsidiary of First Group. First South West was originally known as First Devon and Cornwall until the group reorganisation in 2015.

Those who do contribute to the First Kernow thread on this website are well versed in how events have moved forward in the continuance of time.

I cannot trace West Vromwell Road on a high detail map in the Earls Court area.

Let's not have a dispute over the naming of a bus operator, as we have established previously 'First' or similar will suffice so long as the intended operator is made clear. There is no need to quibble over 'Cornwall' or 'Kernow'. Play on please chaps.

 

[James Wake]

That'll be West Cromwell Road, also served by route 74, so we next join the 1233 Go Ahead London service 74 to Hyde Park Corner Station arriving at 1259 on Friday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We continue on the 1308 Go Ahead 74 to Baker Street Station Marylebone Road, arriving at 1322 Friday afternoon

 

[James Wake]

We continue on the 1308 Go Ahead 74 to Baker Street Station Marylebone Road, arriving at 1322 Friday afternoon

Continuing with the game we next board the 1327 London United service 27 to Chalk Farm, Morrisons arriving at 1344 on Friday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A change of operator sees us next board the 1352 Arriva London service 393 to Lower Clapton (Clapton Pond on Lower Clapton Road) that arrives there at 1453 on Friday afternoon.

 

[James Wake]

Again another minimum connection time as we board the 1458 Stagecoach London service 48 to Leyton, Bakers Arms, arriving at 1514 on Friday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1519 London General service 257 to Leyton (Chobham Road) that arrives there at 1543 on Friday afternoon.

 

[James Wake]

Being two minutes after the Thatched House, another 5 minute connection sees us board the 1548 Tower Transit service 69 to Plaistow Station, arriving at 1603 on Friday afternoon.

Five different London operators in five moves, going quite nicely.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We enter into the LU station and board the 1611 District Line service to Upminster LU station that arrives there at 1638 on Friday afternoon.

 

[James Wake]

We next board the 1646 Arriva Southern Counties (for Tfl) service 370 to Lakeside Bus Station, arriving at 1711 on Friday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Another change of operator sees us board the 1730 Ensign Bus service 22 to Aveley (Usk Road) that arrives there at 1756 on Friday evening.

 

[James Wake]

The 22 departs 4 minutes later so we can't take that, but we can change operators again, and join the final 1806 Amber Coaches service 11 to Basildon, Hospital arriving at 1907 on Friday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2003 First Essex service 100 to West Hanningfield (Bakers Lane) that arrives there at 2043 on Friday evening.

 

[Springs Branch]

We continue on the next First in Essex service 100 from Bakers Lane at 2130, alighting at Billericay Railway Station at 2145 Friday evening.
