The funny thing is I don't think it's by chance. I think they know exactly what they're doing!

The council said some operators may charge and remember dogs costing 50p, so if it wasn't Kernow it was obviously someone else

FK used to charge for dogs. One chap used to bring on 3 for his trip to town. Cost him more for the dogs than his fare.
Most drivers charged him for one or no dogs!
There again, (later edit) I seem to recall it was initially £1 per dog. That was reduced to 50p, then made free.
Hopefully someone will correct me

Thought I remember seeing it advertised on a bus somewhere, until now I've only ever travelled with FK and WG so thought it must of been one of them but couldn't remember who so couldn't really dispute what everyone else was saying, so thanks for clarifying
Good job he had lenient drivers, could of been a costly trip otherwise!
I'm guessing if they aren't taking up any seats, you can't charge them as a passenger, same sort of thing for children under 5
I agree, not as stupid as they look!
The Solo's continue to operate on the T1/T2 today.

Does that mean if I get on a bus and there's standing room only, I get my fare refunded?
You have a greater chance of that happening on the trains, then you do on the bus unfortunately!Does that mean if I get on a bus and there's standing room only, I get my fare refunded?
Maybe if you sit on someones lap or under a seat you might get away with it.Does that mean if I get on a bus and there's standing room only, I get my fare refunded?

You can just about spot the eLeather - most WoE Geminis have it. Mind you, is that a bent skirt panel??
Looks like an ice cream van.
no it’s straight but appears to have some filler repair and the orange has set a very slight different shade.

Well that lot should keep Dan Shears and/or Trevor Wigley busy!
some nicer than others. 33153 has a fantastic engine tone. She absolutely roars! 33173 probably my favourite trident last summer!
A few more snaps from my day at work. I will try and keep ticking over some photos from work, for those who can’t go out to get some kind of daily fix on what’s been where.
First time I’ve taken an optare to fowey. Must be honest I much prefer the Enviro... the wheels are in the right place, having rarely driven Solos they take some adaption from jumping from other model buses

What are the orange or black variations of the standard green livery for?
I would imagine they are partner liveries. The black and green I believe is a replacement for the Cornish language bus. Orange I’m unsure

Surprised 53801 YK04 KWR isn't on the list:
Unless I missed something.

While it gives the impression of only being fit for turning into bean cans I assume it is the one that is (was?) going to be the 4th Solo going into Mousehole livery.

I thought that was going to be 53701 LK05 DYO.

So what tridents does that leave?
The lizard / kernow branded east lances apart from 32755 unfortunately
The pride presidents and the two double door presidents as well as the vamooz ones and a few Atlantic coasters

Don't know, but that's already in Kernow livery hence why I thought 53701.
I'm a bit surprised all eight short slimlines are being retained. I know that they're not the most reliable of buses but that's a huge spares allowance for the M6.

32755 was the last old style Lolyne, but believe it's been a bit of a pup.
I'm quite grateful that somebody within the company (and thank you if you read this forum) is willing to put the time into sending out the updates, especially so at the present time.

Indeed! For those so irritated, just highlight and drop into MS Excel and sort smallest to largest.
