Yes, whereas the 17/18/19 ones seem to have long spells on the route.

No - this was explained earlier in this thread. The Exeter outstation remains as First Kernow but that engineering cover comes from Taunton

So glad the roadworks are finished on the A390, bet all the Truro College drivers are as well! Saw an E500, Gemini and Autosan running 272 & 273 services at the Four Lords all at least 15 mins late, hordes of the students all along the route waiting for them!

Are there any plans regarding the Mousehole? Are any of the Solos going to be retrimmed & repainted and have any other Solos gone in for charabanc conversion?

Does anyone know if 65022 is now at Cornwall as it tracked as a PR1/PR1a on Monday or is this a ticket machine swap?
No it’s not. It was a machine with a fleet number incorrectly logged

According to The Provincial Society website latest news all of 65006/11/21/22/25 are withdrawn and authorised for sale to PVS around 14 January, although in practical terms they will be collected by Wigley as subcontractors to PVS.

According to Plymothian Transit DART, ATLA and DISC have been suspended from last Sunday until further notice. Plus it appears that FALM is now weekends only. None of this seems to have been highlighted on Kernow or Adventures by Bus websites or social media, which seems a bit of an oversight.

Suspended? possibly..
A comment left on an earlier post that the Dartmoor Explorer was cancelled has been queried – but they are right, or at least it looks like ...

I'm surprised DART and DISC haven't been suspended before now - I've never seen anything more than a small handful of passengers aboard since they started.According to Plymothian Transit DART, ATLA and DISC have been suspended from last Sunday until further notice.

Dartmoor sounds like it has been a success across the summer period so would imagine it was reasonably successful at high season?

Registered as "due to Covid".
Okay thanks. I have seen the Falmouth Coaster several times in recent weeks and each time there were no passengers on board.
20558 was in Camborne today painted black with Truronian branding in silver.

Anyone spending any time in or around Truro in the last week or two who has their eyes open will see the effects of Covid on places like coffee shops and restaurants. As someone who was visiting a patient in Royal Cornwall Hospital every couple of days since before Christmas and attempting to get a coffee and use the loo in the City before my drive home, I had to forego the drink on the last couple of occasions. Regrettably, RCH will now once again only allow visitors in emergency situations, which thankfully mine isn't.

If you don't mind me asking, will the Optare Solo currently doing CAL117 continue on the service even after the Mousehole Adventure comes out?
A solo SR has operated it this week. The previous roadworks that needed the smaller solo has now finished.
Enviro 200’s 44381 and 44382 both on GWR rail replacement services between St Austell and Newquay today.
Update 29th January:-
Gemini 32677 now has Unique branding applied (was in base colours). Second to be treated to Unique vinyls.
Both Volvo B7RLE training buses are now vinyld after 66941 was recently treated.
Enviro 200 44509 was in Camborne for attention last weekend and has been seen doing some test runs around the town in recent days.
Enviro 400MMC 33453 was still in Tinner colours and in service on Thursday. This is supposed to become the fourth and final example to receive Copper livery.

Thank you for the much appreciated updates
Hopefully someone will find it of interest!
Information received in last few days that the training school is to receive two additional Volvo B7RLE's in the coming months although it wasn't mentioned which one's or where they are coming from.
As a result Scania / Irizar 23402 will then return to Truronian and Volvo B10BLE 66164 may be retired.
