Are these E400-MMCs with Copper branding those that were until recently with SPS?
No, they used to be in Tinner livery. The last four that returned remain green.Are these E400-MMCs with Copper branding those that were until recently with SPS?
Any that do are awaiting disposalHappy New Year to everyone, looking forward to more fantastic information being provided by the members on here.
One final question before 2021 ends, how many closed top Plaxton President bodied Tridents remain within the First South West fleet now?
33233 has been in service today, most likely the last closed top President left as 33235 hasn't been in service since 21st December (all according to bus times so may be incorrect.)Happy New Year to everyone, looking forward to more fantastic information being provided by the members on here.

Neither have I don't think. Vamooz is in Stuart's Volvo apparently and I don't think 32359, must be resting because of Christmas Break.Have the new vamooz or pride buses been in service yet?
A couple of months ago. Swapped with a Solo SR to BoS. School contract capacity requirements I believe.Bit of an odd one, but when did YX58 HWH / 44509 transfer to Kernow? or is bus times throwing up an oddball?
Cheers - I recall a post about that now. Just thought it was a little odd seeing the First Olympia flag appearing outside Newquay in a sea of otherwise FK (and Aberdeen) liveried vehicles.A couple of months ago. Swapped with a Solo SR to BoS. School contract capacity requirements I believe.
I believe it was transferred for a school contract (which I assumed was a private school contract)Bit of an odd one, but when did YX58 HWH / 44509 transfer to Kernow? or is bus times throwing up an oddball?
Is that school contract what could be considered a public one such as the 270, 273 etc or a closed door one per se?A couple of months ago. Swapped with a Solo SR to BoS. School contract capacity requirements I believe.
Copper 33450 is on the T1 this morning. Didn't take long for it to stray!
It didn't get taken off, It broke down just before Camborne on the T1 or T2 yesterday. And it got replaced by a Gemini in Kernow Green. It was 32554 SF54 OSU.It wasn't on it for long before it got took off, and was parked up at Camborne by late morning.
Later it appeared to be back on the U2 service.
These 3 services are normally allocated a E500 so should be possible to get the suggested photo most eveningsPity I didn't have a camera with me yesterday afternoon, 3 E500's in convoy heading away from Truro college in numerical order too! 38201 operating a 91 to Newquay, followed by 38202 on the 270 to Cornwall services and finally 32808 on the 273 to Fowey, was quite the sight
Are any other services cleared for E500 operation?These 3 services are normally allocated a E500 so should be possible to get the suggested photo most evenings
Yes, but they are allocated to the services where they are most needed for capacity.Are any other services cleared for E500 operation?
I did see 32808 on Bus times yesterday, and I'll admit I did have to do a double take - an E500 to Fowey! Purely out of intrigue, Where in Fowey does the service terminate?Pity I didn't have a camera with me yesterday afternoon, 3 E500's in convoy heading away from Truro college in numerical order too! 38201 operating a 91 to Newquay, followed by 38202 on the 270 to Cornwall services and finally 32808 on the 273 to Fowey, was quite the sight
Hate to be pedantic but im sure you meant 38208. 32808 is long gone!Pity I didn't have a camera with me yesterday afternoon, 3 E500's in convoy heading away from Truro college in numerical order too! 38201 operating a 91 to Newquay, followed by 38202 on the 270 to Cornwall services and finally 32808 on the 273 to Fowey, was quite the sight
Coach Park I believe, no way that's getting down to the harbour!I did see 32808 on Bus times yesterday, and I'll admit I did have to do a double take - an E500 to Fowey! Purely out of intrigue, Where in Fowey does the service terminate?
College services have always used the coach park and Hanson driveI did see 32808 on Bus times yesterday, and I'll admit I did have to do a double take - an E500 to Fowey! Purely out of intrigue, Where in Fowey does the service terminate?
Only the town bus goes to the harbour.Coach Park I believe, no way that's getting down to the harbour!
The U1X was also booked for E500 operation but only ever 1 operated it (As opposed to both U1X's) and that hasn't happened for a whileAre any other services cleared for E500 operation?
Perhaps when 38206 enters service it could always do that?The U1X was also booked for E500 operation but only ever 1 operated it (As opposed to both U1X's) and that hasn't happened for a while
