First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

[ClawzOneThirty]

Made a list of buses that I am currently tracking down (trying to find out what's happening with them, none of the info is mine btw)

Oh and also, we are apparently getting B9TLs from Manchester, could somebody confirm this?

Looks like the list has been made a bit more accurate since last time, though I'm seeing a tonne of LR02 plate presidents..

EO02FLG was delivered to its new owner today by the Winkleigh dealer. Not sure which operator as he’s tagged a person.

53107 - thought it was (surprisingly) heading to BoS?

The yard it’s been delivered to the only registration I can make out is Y199JDE, Carmel?

33477 on T2 duties and 30879 on T1 duties today.

32872 in Camborne but was not in service.

 

[ClawzOneThirty]

@83G/84D Soon to be disposed of, the same fate goes with 32853

I'm thinking that 32819 & 32955 will both go to Somerset, since they have two X---HLT and T---LLC batch tridents and are wanting more deckers in the fleet

E200 MMC 44953 was on the 16:25 222 service to St Stephen, E400 MMC 33313 was on the 226 service to Newquay, Tinner bus 33456 was on the 231 service to Falmouth along with Uni E400 33422 and East Lanchashire Lolyne 32761, and Dennis Trident 'A5' 33174 was on the 214 service to Fowey.

Thanks for stating the vehicle types. Fleet numbers on their own don't mean much to me.

No worries mate, its the same with me, I need to know what the bus is before I start talking about the wrong class

Atlantic Coaster branded single decker performing duties on the U4 this evening - luckily, Marazion and Goldsithney are unlikely to be busy!

Good luck to it when it reaches Helston. It’s flora day today.

Trident 32853 seen on service A17 at St Erth today. Tridents 33170 and 33239 noted ex Norwich and Atlantic Coaster Trident 33234 on service 18C.

 

[LAIRA]

33007 working A17 in Crowlas at lunchtime. I have been in St Just the last 2 days and all workings seen there were Scania singles except 53040 last evening.
53404 plus 1 other are being painted at Long Rock where 43874/869/864/865/868/873 appear to be out of use.
42860 seen heading east on the A30 near Zealh yesterday morning not in service.

Very poor that Summer timetables are not available on first website yet !!

 

[83G/84D]

All white coach 23019 in use as a training vehicle at Camborne this afternoon.

 

[Busaholic]

Trident 33176 appeared to be on the T1 today - I only saw the back of it at Hayle Retail Park, and it was devoid of rear route number. What on earth livery is it carrying?
A Mousehole-capacity, but green liveried, bus was on the A17 too.

In fairness the Summer timetables don't start until 27th May, so plenty of time yet. If people are desperate to see the new timetables now they're available on Traveline.

Dart 43857 is working the 1540 Camborne to Helston. 43856 on a stand at Camborne at same time, unsure what it will be working.

 

[MB162435]

Tinner bus 33456 was on the 08:00 231 service from Falmouth Moor to Truro College, it then worked empty back to Falmouth to work for the rest of the day on U3 services

 

[ClawzOneThirty]

@LAIRA That would have been my College bus, was on the R2 today and yesterday.

Anybody know which vehicle got vandalized with graffiti?

I don’t think anyone has come up with a definitive answer to why 33176 has been painted as it has. Guess we will find out in due course!

Some shots from my outing to mevagissey today.

 

[ClawzOneThirty]

@richw In the first image at St Austell, I would have just been coming off of the blue bridge in the top left corner of the photo, as I remember seeing 42876 in the corner and two MMCs (one was pulling out), I also managed to see 32761 for a brief spell, but it was gone by the time I had gone back over.

 

[richw]

I caught the 093* bus from bodmin, and left on the one that gets to mevagissey at 1056. Guessing it was around 1020-1030?

 

[ClawzOneThirty]

Yep! I would have been walking into town from the bridge at that sort of time, I got on the R2 later on which got me back to Bodmin for the 6PM 27 from Morrisons (roughly arrives at 6PM, normally an MMC or a trident)
