First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

[83G/84D]

33304, It’s for Falmouth maritime museum if I recall correctly


Found a photo of it on Instagram. Screen shot attached

Thank you.

32546 ( SF54 OSJ) has appeared in Camborne in green, possibly the one you saw.

32546 seen today in the general green colour and now has Kernow branding. The other two recently repainted green also subsequently done.

Which other two have been painted? Many thanks.

One is 32622 i believe

32622 and 32636 done. Enviro 400 33426 was in Camborne yesterday.

They are certainly getting through them now. Certainly, many of them were looking a bit skanky having been painted in 2012/3, though the burgundy ones were also a bit rough and they were only painted 2016. Certainly, they do look much better, and look forward to having a trip down and being reacquainted with them.

By my reckoning there are 28 Geminis left to do.

Of these three are in Scotland livery and only recently repainted.

Those Scottish ones are no stranger to the paintbrush, having been repainted in 2017 into the Midland blue and then 2019 into the Scottish Urban 2! Still, it will be good to see them into Kernow fleet colours, assuming that they aren't going to feature in any future partner or other schemes.

Yes that was one of the three seen recently.

Looks good. I guess the one observation is that they plug the 5 day bundle. I know they are experts in marketing but seems odd to put it in a place that will likely be covered over with a commercial advert. First West of England did the same in Bristol....

Perhaps something on the lower panels might be better?

The green E400 MMCs all have this sort of marketing within their advert panels. They look much better without ads!

32636 is on the A17 today whilst E400 33426 has made it's debut on the A2 route following a period on the A5 last month.

32636 is on the A17 today whilst E400 33426 has made it's debut on the A17 route following a period on the A5 last month.

I saw the new e400 (33426) on the a2, A3 and a1 today but don't recall seeing it on the a17, would be weird if it was as its an open-top bus

Corrected, It was on the A2.

[83G/84D]

33303 has a rear advert the same as or similar to 33304.

32636 is the other Gemini in Kernow green.

It's on the A2-A3-A1 circuit again today.

 

[Trainfan061193]

It's on the A2-A3-A1 circuit again today.

I thought the plan was to use the E400s on the A4 and A5 not the A1-A2-A3 circuit.

 

[83G/84D]

I thought the plan was to use the E400s on the A4 and A5 not the A1-A2-A3 circuit.

A4 & A5 not currently operating as far as I can see.

Might as well use the newer stuff on the remaining routes where possible.

If that is the plan it will have to wait until next year.

 

[richw]

I thought the plan was to use the E400s on the A4 and A5 not the A1-A2-A3 circuit.

The 4 & 5 are summer only. Probably makes sense to use the nicer newer e400 over the limited winter

 

[Goldfish62]

The 4 & 5 are summer only. Probably makes sense to use the nicer newer e400 over the limited winter

And it's not like there's going to be any capacity issues, which was the stated reason for keeping these off the 1-3 for the summer.

I suppose this makes sense as not many tourists around this time of year.

Anyone willing to do a similar list of the various “partner” liveries?

 

[Ballysundriven]

In today’s Western N&P there’s an entry for First South West to reduce the vehicle authorisation to 45 at Summercourt. And then a new Operating Centre for 10 vehicles at Tresillian Barton, Summercourt TR8 5AA. Can anyone throw any light on this please?

Dairyland is a new temporary outstation

 

[TheGrandWazoo]

Dairyland is a new temporary outstation

Are they doing some work at Summercourt and need to temporarily relocate some fleet away from that depot?

Yes, but also the yard wasn’t really big enough for all the extras at the moment. I believe Dairyland is stationing closed school/college services
