    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    The yellow sunseeker open top on the 1530 Lands end coaster looked very sad and empty when it left Penzance in the gale yesterday.

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    The latest timetables for the U1 and U4 are a complete mess. They used to be reasonably clock face but not any more. You need to be carrying a timetable with you to be sure when the next bus is due. Just need First Kernow to bring in another awful corporate livery and we will know he dark ages...

    So many announcements, so few people taking them on board

    I try and ignore announcements and try and do the opposite. Especially the one on steps that goes on and on and on saying hold the handrail. They all certainly put me off using the train.

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    The U1 and U1A still have loads of waiting time and from Newquay they still miss the connection to Falmouth. I hoped once the A30 main road works at Chiverton had been done the service would go back to how it was. Coming back from Perranporth I have to get off at Chiverton and get on the 304...

    What uses will buses have in a world of driverless cars?

    The roads will not be able to cope with loads of extra traffic. Buses will be needed even more.

    Go Cornwall Bus

    Remind me of when I used to get the Western Greyhound in the winter from Penzance about 0930 and connect at Gurnards head with the connecting bus to Rosemergy for coast walks.

    First Group: General Discussion

    I hope we don't get another awful First group corporate livery. Everything in Cornwall looks smart and local at the moment.

    Portishead approved

    I think the Portishead saga sums up everything that is wrong with the country?

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    I saw the Exmoor coaster heading to Land's end from Penzance this afternoon at 1330.

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    I got an Enviro 200 on the 16 from Penzance the other day. It was an ex First Kernow Council owned vehicle once green and now red. The display inside was still saying First Kernow and scrolling through the old ticket information. Perhaps they are all like this and I am even more unobservant than...

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    I don't think any of those routes want slowing up to go via the Park and ride.

    The trees alongside a highway are the responsibility of the landowner. Cornwall Council do not take responsibility.
