Could some kind person tell me which routes from Truro Station currently serve Treliske Hospital i.e. go into the hospital grounds rather than on the dual carriageway? I usually go there by car but next week I'm not allowed to drive after a procedure. I must say that, other than the P&R,I haven't noticed too many buses at Treliske in recent months.

Thanks for going to the trouble - I'll now look up individual timetables for those routes.

87 is xx05 from the bus station, Hopleys similar time I guess but don’t know if they’re clock face, but their Solo followed me all the way to Threemilestone today.

Hopleys certainly used to be clockface: I caught their bus once when I'd left my car for service at Dales, Scorrier. I underestimated how long it would take to walk the mile or so between showroom and nearest bus stop coming back, on an unlit road uphill in the p.m. peak in November, with pavement switching from one side of the road to the other. Only just made it before it closed!

I stagger all the time, regardless of alcohol intake!

Would I be right in saying there are only 5 darts left with Kernow now?

Has 42874 departed the Fleet now?
