Winkleigh, I would presumeWhere has it gone too?
It is the field next to Tesco's.buses can be seen from road normallyYe I found that in the end very odd to see bendy on the road but there being moved to storage, I was looking at the first kernow outstands and I couldnt find padstow one is is it literally a field next to tescos as cant tell and no buses parked near the address provided
Ye I was looking on maps but because there is no signs and all the buses used on service that day so wasnt sureIt is the field next to Tesco's.buses can be seen from road normally
What ever happened to the 12 plate enviro 400 kernow had with there tested livery they were really nice
Interesting as saw photos of 12 plate e400 and I was wondering why we got newer buses and then lost them again?There was one with an experimental livery (33660). The others 33658/9/61/2/4-7 (except 33659) had unibus branding on top of their First urban livery.
All moved to First West of England at Hengrove depot in Bristol. 33660 regained First urban livery, and all received orange fronts for service 50. With a PVR reduction, 33666/7 went to Weston super Mare and gained orange Excel livery.
However, all have now gone to Wells depot and wear blue and gold Mendip Explorer livery - https://www.flickr.com/photos/77751183@N07/49070420458/in/photolist-2hLbJq3
First South West was renamed from First Devon and Cornwall in October 2015 (and that had been renamed from First Western National in 2004 and Western National in 1999.)A question every old images of kernow buses it says devon and cornwall and I know first cornwall was rebranded as kernow did first devon exist and if it did what happened?

Were they brand new to kernow.
Wish they used the paint livery on more buses as it look really good

What division was 'Buses of Somerset' under before First South West was introduced?First South West was renamed from First Devon and Cornwall in October 2015 (and that had been renamed from First Western National in 2004 and Western National in 1999.)
History time....What division was 'Buses of Somerset' under before First South West was introduced?
I think it would make more sense for Buses of Somerset to be part of First West of England, with the BoS areas being close to network at Wells and Weston super Mare.
Ah I got ya. Misread your postAhem...that’s what I was querying
It’s only 4.5 years ago so not that long ago. Info here will help https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_South_West
BoS is probably a more natural fit to Kernow than Bristol. Rural running etc!
I think part of the problem is that BoS isn't really a natural fit anywhere so it's finding the least worst outcome. I suspect that given the retrenchment from the ends of the network going on at First West of England, BoS may well be better off where it is.
Plus Trowbridge and Stroud!Very true. To be honest, I think it would make more sense for First Weymouth to sit with FSW rather than FHD and almost resurrect the old Southern National.
Plus Trowbridge and Stroud!
I didnt mean it was along time ago just a few years ago, just remember seeing the 12 plate e400 when they were in and around Cornwall and wonder how we needed up getting them, and I've never really researched about the devon part of first till recently.I don’t know what you mean by “the paint livery”? Which one?
2012 Enviros were new for Olympic Games transport and immediately went to Plymouth for P&R work. Then moved to Tavistock before moving to Cornwall for use at Falmouth in late 2014.
