First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

[richw]

Not to be pedantic or anything but that’s a Nissan Micra

Being pedantic failed..... his post said after the Corsa was removed, so no longer there to be pictured...

 

[richw]

Top marks to Kernow (and Somerset) for their facebook reporting over the last day or two. Very comprehensive reporting and updates. Im in no doubt what they are operating.

PCB get some credit as well although theirs is harder to find as they’ve done a seperate facebook post for each route rather than a consolidated post.

Stagecoach southwest on the other hand have little Facebook presence and i have no idea what they’re operating.

Hmm, not much seems to be out at the moment, so I've been stuck outside all day with my massive insulated coat and shovel, hopefully things are back to normal next week!

On the other hand, the Stagecoach SW website has carried full and constantly updated details of the service that it has been possible to provide.

Uni MMC 33479 was on the 10:05 T1 service from Truro to Penzance and E400 33422 was on the 10:35 T1 service from Truro to Penzance. One of 33422's sisters either 33420 or 33421 was being attended to by engineers at Penryn Campus after failing on a U3 service

   An E400 actually made it onto a U4 service today:I think one was on it yesterday as well. I'd not seen a blue bus on the service for some days prior to that, but that's not to say there hadn't been one.

There was an E400 on the U4 on Saturday.

A Dart was on service T1 yesterday evening, I think it was 42872.

 

[83G/84D]

Trident 33181 and Solos 53151 & 53206 seen in convoy on the westbound A30 near Carland Cross at around 2pm. Reported elsewhere that the first two were going to Buses of Somerset!

 

[ClawzOneThirty]

Apparently 33001 is also headed down to Cornwall with them, though no news yet.

 

[83G/84D]

The three I mentioned are at Camborne along with soon to depart 53107. 53040 also due to depart was still in use last week.

 

[83G/84D]

Anyone know what the situation is regards delivery of new buses? Can’t be far off now.

 

[83G/84D]

Forgot to mention that Truro bus station is closed for 10 weeks from the end of the month for work. Services are being relocated, details on the First Kernow website.

Didn’t it have some work done on it last year? Seem to recall it was closed for a while.

Maybe they are wanting them to enter service after the financial year end, as has happened before.

What would be the reason for doing that?

 

[richw]

On the subject of bus stations st ives is going to be closed for a lot longer than expected. Won’t reopen in time for the summer, so we can look forward to a summer of chaos

 

[richw]

What would be the reason for doing that?

Accounting and balancing books in a financial year. Very common for businesses to have new assets just after the start of April.

I heard a driver say some of the new deckers could be on rail replacement towards the end of this month (18th onwards?)

I’m not sure. But it’s going to spell absolute chaos. It is chaos with the bus station in summer!

Norwich Trident 33236 (LT52WWZ) is on its way to Camborne depot. I think up to eight Tridents are heading to the South West from Norwich now that we've receiving more B9s from Leeds.

 

[83G/84D]

33236 seen in Camborne earlier today.

 

[ClawzOneThirty]

Can I ask what is happening with 50236, 40322, 33099, & 32930? There is no recent news of them so I'm wondering if anything has happened to them? I don't exactly know the state they are all in either (Withdrawn, stored etc).

Also, when will 32045 and 52554 be collected? It's been ages since news of 52554 was given.
