Saw quite a few buses on Saturday, mostly FK but also BfC, in Penzance and Truro and between the two places. All but two (a TI and an 89) were single deckers and the total number of passengers I saw at a glance were 5! The buses were on the A17 (two buses), T1 (two buses, but one seen twice), T2, M6, 47, 16, 89, U4, PR1 (3 buses plus one off service), a Truro 'town service' by a minibus in dark livery: I also saw a bus turn into the Malpas Estate, but when I attempted to follow it less than a minute later it had disappeared out of sight! The passengers were on the M6 (1), 16 (2, from Sainsbury's) and 47 (2).
By the way, this was by no means a jolly. I was taking my wife to a hastily organised scan at RCH, knew I had at least two hours before I could pick her up, and was under strict instructions that I could neither park there nor even leave the car for an instant.Difficult to know where to go, but I chose Waitrose because at least it had a WC, an absolute requirement, although a cup of coffee was out of the question, unfortunately. Incredible weather with almost empty A30 - only saw one police car, which had done a 'stop' to check reason for travel, but never had an easier car journey. Strange days! Reminds me of an old Avengers TV series episode from the 1960s which featured a small town with no visible inhabitants.
) hurtle down it, whether they have the right of way or not, and then they get to the Newlyn crossroads, which always seems to fox the unwary. Got to say I think Sennen is steeper though.
