Very surprised to see some of the 'temporary fleet' appearing on the bus tracker today.
30565 on U1, 32014 on D5, 32015 on 87 and 32069 on S2. Or are these because of ticket machine swaps?
YesA random question, are you allowed to use the DayTripper services as a normal service with a standard Kernow day ticket rather than using them as they intend. I’m planning a trip involving catching the return journey at 1330, but not actually using the outward journey.
32014 ran dead to Eden, but will work the 1330 and 1700 D5 as it’s the Eden supervisors vehicle. Solos worked the 0900 and 1000 D5. Dead runs seem to be tracking now under the next scheduled run the bus will doVery surprised to see some of the 'temporary fleet' appearing on the bus tracker today.

Driver Training Vehicle.@On the Buses what is 62209 being used for?
You’ll have to wait and see I’m afraid.@On the Buses what is 62209 being used for?
No it’s notDriver Training Vehicle.
I was your D9 driver.Driver on the D9 only had me as a passenger but was helping TfC people with info happily and the friendly D11 driver also only had me as a passenger until just outside Padstow where we grabbed 4 passengers from TfC as they were late. He also ensured I made the Atlantic Coaster just at Padstow Tesco which I'm the only one on now waiting for time in Newquay. Excellent service all round so far although loadings not the best except the 1100 from Newquay to Padstow which was very busy on top.
I'm guessing it's not allowed but could the Ride Cornwall not be sold on the kernow app as I'd much rather they got my money than TfC or GWR given it's their service innovations that bring me here in the first place.
Coaster is lightly timed to Pereanporth and impossible after...even given we missed both Perran Sands Holiday Park and
Porthtowan completely.
32069 I can confirm is on the S2 as we passed it. 30955 also in the bus station.. 32015 is parked up at St Austell
Ok Interesting. Will await developments.You’ll have to wait and see I’m afraid.
No it’s not
Lol well my compliments good sir, you were a credit to Kernow along with the D11 driver. Really hope daytripper picks up in the hols as it is a great idea and both were great rides and the great bus arrival and grande depart at Eden is cool too. I had a great day out.I was your D9 driver.

That should be very exciting!You’ll have to wait and see I’m afraid.
No it’s not
Vaccination Bus?You’ll have to wait and see I’m afraid.

I thought 32755 had all sorts of electrical issues?It's nice to see some older buses in the fleet, but they are well looked after with the open top Presidents and East lances looking younger then they are.
It's a shame kernow don't still have 32755 as that was really clean for it's age, unfortunately met it's fate.

Which passes?Are bus passes accept
Are bus passes accepted
When I was at Eden Friday last week, there was barely anyone using the daytripper services. I don’t think the lack of advertising is helping so hopefully if it starts being advertised more, numbers I’m sure will pick up. Maybe some more journeys could be added in the future also as I still feel that you just don’t get enough time at some of the places. I do apologise if I’m sounding negative but I’m just speaking my mind here.Thank You.
It’s got a lot of potential, and I’d like to see it develop and numbers pick up.
Most touring coaches only give a similar 2-3 hours at destinations then move on.When I was at Eden Friday last week, there was barely anyone using the daytripper services.

That's the nature of railtours. You don't go on them specifically to spend a lot of time at the destination. It's all about the travel.The rail tour from derby yesterday gave 90 mins at st Ives which became an hour due to delays. 7+ hours each way for 1 hour.
That seems likelyVaccination Bus?
I meant to ask whether senior citizens passes are accepted on these services?Which passes?
Not on DayTripper except between St Austell and EdenI meant to ask whether senior citizens passes are accepted on these services?
Why?That seems likely
Marc Huws put out a tweet saying it was not for something expected, and I think a vaccination bus could maybe match that description, but I obviously don't work for Kernow so I wouldn't know.Not on DayTripper except between St Austell and Eden
Why?
I’m not sure that makes it ‘likely’Marc put out a tweet saying it was not for something expected, and I think a vaccination bus could maybe match that description, but I obviously don't work for Kernow so I wouldn't know.
