So not too badly damaged by its contretemps with Taunton's Station Bridge.
One more season from the Citybuses and then a decision on replacement?

Olympian 31518 seen being towed eastbound along the A30 near Mitchell this afternoon (7th December).
Did 31518 ever see service down here?

31878 also gone to them?
Towed by a beast of a Scammel Crusader recovery truck
Former Jersey Dennis Dart Nimbuses 42358 (EY05FYP), 43861 (EG52FGJ) and 43865 (EG52FGU) have now all departed the region and are now at their new home of Cornwall being prepared for service. I am informed that in place of 42358 is recently arrived Alexander Dennis Dart 42943 (WA56OAS) which is a former Kernow vehicle. Still to come from Bath are 42908(WX05RVR), 42911 (WX05RVV), 42914 (WX05RVZ), 42926 (SN05EAE) and 42938 (WX05SVD) which will also all become Lowestoft vehicles.

Just seen on another site that 53701 LK05DYO is working out of Scotstun Garage in Glasgow.
Is that correct that it has left Cornwall?

Another recent arrival is Dart 42869 seen on the 39 earlier.

Trident 33176 seen at Camborne today in Urban with Kernow branding. This was formerly in Mayflower link colours. At the same time 33175 was at Camborne still in Mayflower link colours.
Assuming that's 43869 and just a slight typo?
From Kernow being almost an Urban free zone (save the e400s, and the odd B7RLE and Dart), the rapid repaints and already painted cascades seem to be bringing it in pretty quickly.

Yes it should be 43869.

Just to confirm that 53701 has not left Cornwall, I saw it at Camborne less than an hour ago.

On 3rd December Trident 32854 broke down on M5 on its way from First Wyvern to First Kernow. It was towed to Taunton for repair, but I have heard no reports of it since.
Does anyone know if it has arrived in Cornwall?
32854 is a T reg, so still getting on for 17 years old. I'm pretty certain from contacts the existing T and V reg Tridents aren't the most reliable, so our First Kernow engineers will be well versed in them!

I think some of the ex Manchester Olympian's also experienced difficulties on their journey to the south west.
Nice to know that we are getting quality vehicles sent down. :roll:
I'll keep a look out for it arriving at Camborne behind a tow truck.

While at Worcester in late November 32854 had a "new" engine fitted. So hopefully it will not be too bad.32854 is a T reg, so still getting on for 17 years old. I'm pretty certain from contacts the existing T and V reg Tridents aren't the most reliable, so our First Kernow engineers will be well versed in them!
