That looks in fairly smart condition too, not bad for a 15 year old vehicle!
When were these announced for Kernow? I thought the main supply of Wright bodied vehicles were the Gemini's and the 2 ex Berkshire Solars?

Can anyone advise of the identity of the second Cornwall College repaint that emerged early last week?
One of the Optare Solo SRs finally got some work today with 53861 on the 24.
Also there were two closed double deckers (32691 and 32549) on the A1/A2/A3 circuit today which is quite disappointing given that in the past few weeks FK have managed to run the A1/A2/A3 with open toppers most of the time.
That bus looks pretty packed. I wonder if it would be viable to operate double deckers on the 24 in busy periods, for example this weekend (August bank holiday)?

If Dan still has some of the trident why don't we just have all the available tridents back and give them the old w reg alx40033155 and 33168 returned to Kernow today from Dan Shears, to be reinstated to fleet

I suppose there is more then those two tridents returning.Because we need them both!
24 has to be Single Deck for Safe Harbour in Fowey and the Low Bridge at Holmbush
2x Scania SDs due too! 615xx from Leeds so I hear
Seems like this one came "under the radar" and was a vehicle none of us knew was coming until a day or two. I must admit I wasn't expecting any singles to arrive.

61216 from Leeds (Bramley) is the only one I know of. Left Leeds today apparently.
Looking at Flickr, I'm surprised they are taking what is in effect an elderly 52 plate. I have a feeling Ensign have sold some ex First Group Solar's that are newer than that of late.

Lots of elderly vehicles, that were due disposal, are moving between subsidiaries at the moment for COVID schools extras. I’m sure it’s a case of they’ll take what they can get that fits the bill!
On services which are financially supported by LAs, such decisions won’t be made by the bus operator, but by the local authority.Very much so! Pvr rising from 63 to 170! At least Kernow are taking the approach of sourcing any vehicle they can get their hands on rather than cancel peak public services in the manner TfC have gone for to meet contract needs!
I think a lot of the elderly vehicles are to mostly help out on school and college routes until the MMCs return around December.Lots of elderly vehicles, that were due disposal, are moving between subsidiaries at the moment for COVID schools extras.

Ah yes i forgot about those 'obstacles'.2 low bridges, an overhanging building in tywardreath and can’t turn anything longer than 9m at fowey safe harbour
It's been reported in the last few days on the Hampshire & Dorset Forum that Volvo B7TL 37165 has left Empress Rd at Southampton after being there for many weeks. It's unclear where it currently is however it is or was due for transfer to Cornwall.
