The Summer timetable from the 26th May to 14th September is now available to view online via: https://issuu.com/cornwallbykernow/docs/cornwall_summer_book_for_issuu
Interesting things to note for this year is the reintroduction of the 86 service between Truro and Newquay after a few years away but this time going via Shortlanesend and then onto Perranporth after previously going via RCH Treliske in its previous form
Also the U4 is extended to Penryn Campus and also to Falmouth on Sundays, bringing back a direct service between Falmouth and Penzance not seen since Summer 2017 timetable back when it was still the 2 service
There is a new 102 service Monday to Sundays between St Austell station and the Lost Gardens of Helligan after the gardens only got a service from the 101 on Sundays only
The A4 as previously mentioned get an increased service between July and August compared to previous years
Most other changes such as the increased Sunday services on most routes and the reduction of U1 evening services are the usual Summer changes
Hard copies of the timetable will be available in a couple weeks Kernow have said
I think last summer was the first time that evening journeys after 19.30 ish went via Marazion, giving that that small town an evening service about three times better than during the rest of the year. Very nice while it lasted, but a bit ott!Penzance to St Ives evenings is run as A17 when last summer it was A2. Will serve St Ives Holiday Village but not Marazion Square.
Shame you can't download the timetable from that useless website it's on.The M6 goes back to every 20 minutes Monday to Friday which is good news. Hopefully buses will be available to run a full service.

There's a comment on the FirstBus enthusiasts FB group that Geminis 37175/6/7 are due from South Yorkshire this weekend. No idea how accurate this is.
It looks like you can.Shame you can't download the timetable from that useless website it's on.
For the second time this week someone set off the emergency alarm on a bus in Camborne. “Warning this vehicle is under attack please dial 999” could be heard around the bus station until it was figured out how to silence it.
Gave the passengers a laugh!
No, a E400MMC first time and a E200MMC second time.

Confirmed on Facebook by 'First Kernow - behind the scenes' - although old habits die hard having all those tridents, they noted them as 33175/6/7
Also noted that their “newest” open topper is close to completion at Thorntons.
I've got those two down as 37058 (YJ06XMK) and 37729 (YJ09OCA)I can't remember which one of the two that is. Can you?

If that was the last time it ran, the year might be significant. I remember spending a fortnight in the summer of 1962 as a very bored teenager in a Welsh guest house listening to the rain falling outside. I also remember that Carole King's 'It Might As Well Rain Until September' was a big hit at the time, and sharing the sentiment somewhat!The recent Helston Flora day special service 813 ran between Helston and St Ives. This made me wonder if there was a service between the same two places (other than for Flora Day) in the past. After a bit of digging around I found this from the summer of 1962:-
