15.40 this afternoon, spied with my little eye at PZ bus station, a U4 and an A17 single deck Coaster parked up and a Tinner arriving on the T1. About an hour later, and a bit nearer the location a Tinner bound for Truro (same one?) an A17 to Pendeen, which was another s/d. No TfC buses evident!

There wouldn't be. Even in normal times TfC's Sunday presence in the Penzance area is confined to the Pendeen leg of the A17. Penzance is still a Kernow stronghold!

Some good news for First Kernow employees in these grim times. The GWR franchise has just been extended for another three years, with an option and another year, so those excellent value £6 tickets will continue.

Good morning Gentlemen, can someone please remind what the two fleet numbers are of the new Go Cornish language and the Green and Orange Gemini's are? Many thanks

Thanks for this news. I just wonder why Ensign would want old Solos. For spares recovery perhaps?

To sell through their dealership.

I wonder what was being collected? But doesn't Dan Shears at Winkleigh have a towing vehicle which still has Wigley identification on it? I thought I read that somewhere.

Sounds then as if it was a proper Trevor Wigley wrecker. A long trip to and from Barnsley to Cornwall to collect scrappers in the current situation.

It is actually a field next to Tesco, but it is also the site of the Padstow Park & Ride when it's operating.

And indeed the address on the O licence is: "Field next door to Tesco"!
