Indeed. There are three remaining. One is moving to Somerset once the E500s are in service. The other two will likely follow as a couple of cascades arrive.

Those that have returned and that I have ridden on were fine. Another E500 (38202?) has apparently made part of the journey to Cornwall and should arrive in the coming days.

An unidentified Mousehole Solo was on Penwith College service 160 this afternoon, bound for St Ives. The number 160 was sellotaped onto the dashboard! Got me quite nostalgic, given I went to school for seven years on London Transport route 160. I was actually born in a house outside which the 160 stopped and, for many years before LTE introduced school routes or extensions, the terminus of the 160 in Catford was the only school/college to feature on the iconic London bus map, and was the institution which attempted to educate me.

I meant the Dennis Trident Plaxton Presidents.
That's extremely interesting. Are they moving because of the B7RLEs becoming trainers?
33072 is on Eden sessions again tonight so definitely not VOR as assumed by @vla50

It’s in Weymouth

No. They’re backfilling ones that previously failed

I didn't say 33072 was on VOR I said 158 was (sorry for any confusion), it could've always just been sat around in a garage for example however many thanks for telling me about this
Just out of interest, what are Eden Sessions, or is that not public knowledge?
Oh so for example 33242?
It’s music gigs. Google it for more information. Tonight is Snow Patrol.

Solo 53701 did a trip to Penzance on service T1 early this morning too. I saw it later parked on a stand at Camborne bus station displaying the route number seemingly having been replaced by a Tinner MMC. A Solo SR was on Truro Park and Ride services today as well.
Hello, Would you be able to inform me as to when 38202 is due to leave Weymouth? (Roughly)

Hi is it true that 37003 is on its way to Cornwall from Bristol? I mean 37003 by the one in the South Glos lynx colours. It has been reported by someone off a Facebook group.

Is 37003 going to be repainted when it arrives or will it be running around with no vinyls just the base colour? What will it be used on?

No idea. I don't work for FSW, just wait to see what happens.

I see 37003 37182 and 37183 have appeared on the Kernow Bustimes tracker formerly on West of England.
That doesn’t mean they’ve actually transferred I’m afraid. Anyone can make an account and move buses around willy nilly - Marc tweeted about 37003 at 10.49 last night and it was ‘moved’ into the Kernow fleet at 10.55 for example.

Yes I was aware of that but thank you for pointing it out.
I was just making a comment more than saying it was fact.
37003 is in Camborne. It arrived yesterday, I think, and has had South Glos Lynx branding removed.

A Tinner on the 19 (first time seen since new nos.), may have been on an 18 as well, which is the old no. for the T1, so full circle!

Indeed. Pre-Covid they regularly appeared on the A17, so good to see them back!

I believe one was on the 17 a couple weeks or months ago so not the first time as well. But no it wasn't on the 18 today as I don't believe the 19 interworks with the 18.

I think you're right - three buses on the 17-18 and two buses on the 17-19.

Could we ever see a St Mawes/Roseland Adventure or would that not come to fruition due to demand or the ferry?

Yes. The two E200s are certainly tucked up inside. The Lizard Tridents may be there too by now. Meanwhile the two ex Eastbourne’s are under prep now for next season.
One of the Lizard open top buses (33085) is parked outside at Camborne.
