Fleet News

First Kernow

The ex Lothian and Ensign Dart's are receiving attention for return to service, 43904-6 are SK52OJF SK52OKD SK52OKF all now in the new FG12 Kernow livery although they may not have full fleet names yet

The repaint program in full swing now with these also reported in the new livery: 43904 43905 43906 69222

(As is often the case many, if not all of these enter service with no proper fleetnames!)

20561 TT07TRU is now in a two tone blue livery for Newells Travel. (Flickr Link)

As we have already mentioned there are a lot of buses coming into the fleet over the coming weeks to replace all the non DDA fleet:

10 Volvo B7TL/ Alexander are due from Manchester with 30871 30872 30874 30876 30879 all confirmed arrived in Cornwall so far. Another 8 are due from West Yorkshire. When Devon closes down they are expecting 38 DDs , 3 Solos and 3 Darts to join the Kernow fleet. There may also be some DDs from Bristol. There are also the 20 narrow Darts / Caetano buses due.

The local fleet list has been updated for First up to the latest PSV Circle new sheets which as seen quite a few disposals confirmed over the last few months including 23204 31457 31458 34068 34171 34188 34189 34219 40038 40580 40598 41156 42207 42459 42634 42834 42844.

Finally thanks to James May for this excellent shot of the new look for First KERNOW when it is fully applied

  1. Additionally Volvo B7RLE's 69229 & 69230 are repainted in Olympia / Urban. Former Western Greyhound Solo K50 WGH is now fleet number 53406 but is still green.

  2. There is a piece in the Cornish Times this week saying they people in St. Dominick have (belatedly) woken up to the fact that the village is losing its travel-to-work journeys to Plymouth,

    I am a bit puzzled, though, at the other comment in the article which is that people in Torpoint are complaining that, with First pulling out, areas of the town will be left unserved. As far as I can see, the Citybus service follows the same route as the 81 and that the only difference in Torpoint will be that they will now have only a half-hourly service into Plymouth. Am I wrong, or is the Cornish Times reporting a non-event?
