The contracts are net cost and the fares are set by the operator.
Marazion to Rosudgeon single is £4.40!
33036 is still currently in Bristol. It went unserviceable when it was being collected last week.
The one currently in Cornwall has returned to the Helston depot, to return to the L1 soon.
Maybe Bristol are fixing it so then it can carry on its trip down to Cornwall in due course.
You’d think it’ll be on the L1 tomorrow if it’s now in Helston…
They look really good for their age - 22 years old and still in great nick
They both run well for their age too, I captured 32799 on video yesterday:
Still got a Euro II engine from the sound of it.

A great week this week with an outcome we’ve been waiting on nervously for weeks! Full details next week.

He's a tease.... We could run a sweepstake on the nature of any announcement!
Agreed. There's been a significant repaint programme and the revised livery is a big improvement. I was never keen on the original BoS livery.
I wonder if the 21 actually refers to the service not the year in this case!
Somerset County Council contract wins? That’s if they have any left
Perhaps more likely is college deals/contracts in the area.
I wonder what that would use?
Ok you’ve got it. Hinckley Tour with a world first. First nuclear powered bus. Does 5 years between fuel rods.
Technically the electric buses in Newport could claim to be nuclear powered (Oddly it's always more likely that they'll claim solar or wind, however it's the same electricity!)
I can exclusively reveal that the big announcement is an upgrade of services through Wiveliscombe and towards Glastonbury and Street using a range of Bristol built coaches. The test event happens tomorrow about 10.40 in Wiveliscombe and 13.00 in Glastonbury (or later depending on traffic) with services running through every few minutes. (Or it could be the Royal Blue run coming past!).
Radiation rover ticket available on the Hinkley tour, Bring your own safety suits,
I’ve already tried this today in Cornwall whilst working the D9 I managed to get myself in their convoy. I decided to pull over and let them by and managed to get the below attached photos of my Solo 53255 with various passing Royal Blue vehicles
They do have a few but not many. Hatch Green have the 51 Taunton to Stoke St Gregory, the 23/23B Taunton to Bishops Lydeard, the 19 Bridgwater to Street and 16 Bridgwater to Langport as the main ones. South West Coaches will have a few such as the 96 Yeovil to Chard but not certain what else is tendered vs commercial.
The return of some of the early 00's Sunday services like Minehead to Othery or Wellington to Castle Carey, the highlight being the 22:00 Bath - Bridgwater on a Sunday via Shepton.
