Marc has posted on twitter about the future plans for first Kernow, showing off parts of two new liverys.
Image shows a purple rear of a bus and a yellow front of the bus.
From the image I can't tell if the purple reared bus is east lance trident or Gemini but if its is a east lance trident maybe the lizards are getting a new repaint in a new livery?

They are both mock ups of Geminis
So they're pinching the 3/4 liveried vehicles from First Bristol and introducing double deck school buses!

They might be for school buses, but Marc did say there would be a new brand, also Falmouth Park and ride was getting a new livery.

Though wouldn't the Falmouth Park and Ride be on a single deck mock-up given that the low bridge en route to the Maritime Museum was what prompted the reallocation of 65724/5 to Kernow?

Yes, but didn't marc say a while back that the two 53 plate short wheel base Gemini from Bristol were going to be used on the fal River contract because of there smaller turning circle.
I could be wrong, but aren’t they different contracts?
Isn't the Fal River contract the replacement bus that runs between Truro Quay and Malpas when tides don't allow the Falmouth - Truro ferry to run all the way up to Truro. The reverse turn at the Malpas end is tight hence the need for short vehicles, and nothing to do with the Falmouth Park & Ride service.
I’d better get handy on BusTimes reallocating those painted in Bristol to First South West then
Chuck a couple up to Slough at the same time just to put people off the scent!I’d better get handy on BusTimes reallocating those painted in Bristol to First South West then

Ye thats correct got mixed up with the fal river contract and park and ride/ float.
Bit the two 53 plate Gemini are apparently due for the fal river and the single decker ex discovery on the park and ride

Guessing, I'd say the blue and green livery that Marc recently showed a snippet of would be for the Fal River service.
The Fal river contract is multiple routes.
Falmouth park and ride to the Prince of wales pier- no size restrictions on vehicles
Falmouth park and ride to maritime museum - low bridge,
Truro to malpas at low tide- short length decker due to tight turning.

The only service for Fal is for Truro to Malpas
Fal used to operate the park and ride/float site in Falmouth that required a bus service but gave that up at the end of the 2019 season.
The yet to operate Maritime Museum park and ride from the same site is contracted by the Maritime Museum and nothing to do with Fal

Is the FalRiver contract operated out of Truro or is it part of the Falmouth outstation?

Reported on the South Yorkshire Transport Forum that their 322xx B7TLs are not now down to be scrapped but are due to go to Cornwall. Not guaranteed to be up to date but I believe the survivors are 32265/67/68/69/70/71/74/75/76 at Doncaster but 32268 is withdrawn.

There is a plan to replace all rented buses and Trident Presidents with Interim Volvos when available, with further newer permanent cascades later on.
