First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

[richw]

Having been out for my permitted exercise today I saw 32637. It is part orange (rear) and light green (front). I have a average photo to give you an idea but am having trouble downloading them at the moment.

sounds like an advertising livery. As per a post I made a few weeks ago the first two were to be partner liveries then next 3 were for new brand. Language bus was first so this week be number 2

Open tops heading back to storage as well, safe to say the new timetable books will be known as 'the timetable that never was'

Hopefully the timetables scheduled to start in May, will see the light of day at some point this year

I picked up 3, for myself, my mum and my Gran, now it's 2 for recycling and one for historical reference it looks like it!

I'd try ebay first!

Good point, put the new one and the current timetable, the last to feature Kernow's Council services and might be on to a winner!

Miseed out sadly, the box of them outside the office at Camborne bus station was empty and never re-appeared.

Best I could get considering where it was parked and the restrictions currently in place.

I don't think it'll ever be worth as much as the Sex Pistols on the EMI label, but you can never tell.

Looks like a promo livery base for a partner like Blood Bikes.

Still got the buggy friendly logo that it’s carried since new

Luckily, Truro had loads on Saturday when I picked mine up as by that point majority of people had already stopped travelling, my work was suspended Sunday evening so got mine just in time

People give it a good go to make shed loads of money, makes you laugh sometimes what people charge on Ebay for recent bus tickets and timetables, Kernow's open top services in particular

I expect that's the last repaint for a while. I wouldn't have thought repaints are considered essential at the moment.

hold on a few years and I’d understand

Presidents in non current liveries

 

[Goldfish62]

he’s added a reply to the solitary barbie clarifying that’s a Solo

I assume that is 53801, which was presumably the one earmarked for Mousehole livery. Can't see that happening now.

 

[richw]

Solo SR on the 1625 Truro to bude. First time I’ve seen a solo SR on the 95

 

[Lizard1324]

Its weird to see alot of Gemini on the a17 probaly the first time there has never been a trident on the a17.
So what routes have tridents left on them, (saw two on the L1 and A1)

21 has 2 tridents today

Surely they dont have enough gemini atm to replace the babies yet

I guess that must be the one I saw on the 5 this pm., closely followed by a Mousehole example on the 16. The first bus I saw this afternoon was an A17 to Pendeen, then an A17 to St Ives and a U4 in Marazion heading for Pz. The only one of those with any passengers was the Pendeen bus, and then only two. Against that, 4 people were gathered at the Morrison's bus stop waiting for either an A17 , T1 or U4 eastbound.

easily with the reduction in timetable from next week. I’d expect it to be at least 12 weeks before this all passes

Interesting selection of vehicles on the T1 / T2 route today judging by the bustimes tracking site. Dart 42559, Trident's 33084, 33113, 33155, Volvo B7TL 37175 & 37012.

all depot's bar Penzance, Falmouth, Camborne & Summercourt are temporarily shutting down after this weekend so expect to see a lot more buses moving around.

How is this going to work?
E.g. the L1 will they come from camborne to start the L1

 

[Goldfish62]

Indeed. From the timetables it looks like Penzance will have a PVR of just 6 from next week, with at least 5 being single decks.

12 weeks is very optimistic imo.
