Not quite all the services: the Tin Coaster/18 (Pendeen-St Just-Penzance) service isn't in there; either they forgot to put it in (in which case maybe a separate timetable leaflet will be issued) or they've scrapped the route!

A friend told me about a week ago that a FK bus broke down entering Newquay bus station, blocking it off; his 88 left the Post Office about 20 mins late, the driver went like a bat out of hell, & they got to Redruth rail station only 1 minute late!

I use it sometimes on journeys between St Just & Newquay and back; it's very handy for me, except for the two hour gaps - an 11.33 from Redruth would be ideal. Friends in Newquay also use it now & then. I must admit, though, there are rarely many passengers on it in my experience, which is a...

I see. The Council were prepared to subsidise GC to run the A17 on Sundays, but FK have decided to run it on a commercial basis? I'm surprised it pays. Do you know of other examples of this? 1601911651 That bit of trivia is interesting to me, & a bit sad, as I have a fascination for the...

Couldn't agree more.

But the A17 does operate on Sundays - I used it last Sunday evening.

I think it's been mentioned before, but quite interesting that the A17 is subsidised on Sundays, yet is operated by FK, even in the winter if I remember rightly.

That brings back memories: I served my time as a fitter (as they liked to call themselves) there.

Thanks, richw.

Can anybody tell me, or tell me where to find, which engines (& power ratings) & maybe transmissions are fitted in the various classes of buses operated by FK & GCB, including the ones on order, please?

Surprised to see in St Just earlier the 17.23 A17 still operated by FK. Not one passenger.

I'm quite a fan of the idea of free public transport. Recently I spent a couple of days in Luxembourg, where I travelled on buses, trams, a train & a funicular, all free. It's brilliant, particularly for foreign tourists, because you don't have the hassle of buying tickets, which can be tricky...

Thanks for reply.

Thanks; I did find a thread in the end, but a couple of years old, so I'll follow your and MB162435's advice.

It looks as if GCB will serve St Erth Hub on its T1 service whereas KF does not & will not, thus adding 4 or 5 minutes to GCB's timetable. On another note, I'd like to make a comment on free public transport: can anyone tell me, please, how I go about finding where to put it on the forum? I...
