A bus every fifteen minutes as per the timetable. If there is a problem on the route all day some effort to adjust the workings. The bus I joined in Camborne changed driver perhaps a bus out of the garage to slot in so that driver started on time and use the bus pulled off to slot in later. Passengers on the pulled bus could easily change into the bus that was running with it.
Where are the spare buses coming from at that time of the day? If they’re in the garage at that peak time they’re probably defective and under repair!
Left Camborne about 14.00 plenty of buses available then. I would have thought First would have 1 bus spare even in the peak.
Two separate routes that join together for the last half both on 30 minutes. Roadworks delaying one half. Both need to run on for through customers.
You have my utmost sympathy in keeping the show on the road in these trying (other words are available) circumstances and I think you're doing an admirable job, not forgetting your wage slaves of course. Credit where it's due!
Doesn't the 95 to Wadebridge also go through Tresillian then bears off through Ladock like the 89 does?
Oh yes forgot that one! Is that hourly or two hourly? I've seen a column of TfC interspersed with the 27 during the day, and not even at College times.
One was out on route test today I believe
Route checks. Likely to enter service after half term now. Prep for fleet slow due to staff isolating.
Do you know what routes they are being tested on, thanks for the information.
Perhaps LAIRA should spend a few hours in Camborne or Summercourt control to see all the spare drivers and vehicles waiting around; to also give his views on where things can be seemingly improved.
And you only have to look across the border in Devon to see somewhere where things have gone badly wrong.
Nor will you be likely to see any spare buses, especially at 1400 just as buses are off to schools for afternoon school runs.
How are people getting access to the new data? I can’t seem to find it on traveline
Traveline have merged First and TFC timetables into one PDF, but the one effective 1/11 is here http://nationaljourneyplanner.trave...td3_contractorMacro=&line=swe:34027: :H:y10:2
Not the answer to your question, but I’m not micro managing their allocation. Our Head of Network manages Truro College demand and supply and will determine the allocation.
Walking back up from St Ives towards Carbis Bay this morning 38201 passed me at the Cornish Arms going down towards St Ives. I presume it was route testing and it was going to be turned at the Malakov, because I can't believe it would have gone on and got round library corner, but who knows.
If I remember correctly, the Truro college to hayle/ St ives used to have 2 buses.
33143 was seen near Birmingham on a wigleys truck today. 33182 went on monday, seen near okehampton behind wigleys.
Is 33072 going to scrap if you don't mind me asking?
Don’t know. All I know is it’s got a window sticker saying off fleet
33172 33181 appeared in the First fleet changes list for August as being disposed of.
I did a Flickr search for Trevor Wigley & Son - I'm not sure if this is an ex Kernow example on the move in August?
