First South West’s. One of a pair. Been converted at Thornton’s
My mistake, recall seeing it a few months ago before it got repainted!

Roundabout at the top for goldsithney. That or the cemeteryWhere would you turn a bus around in Marazion?
Nowhere springs to mind.
Well I must say the new uni livery at the moment looks absolutely fine. Really does.Well I must say the new uni livery at the moment looks terrible. Really does.
To me it would look much better once the vinyls are applied.Well I must say the new uni livery at the moment looks terrible. Really does.
Are you sure you got the right fleet numbers there? The first two are Wright Gemini numbers and don’t think the latter exists.Full complement of the right buses on The Mousehole today. I only spent four minutes total in Market Jew Street, equalling 2 x 2 minutes, but in that time saw 37004, 37009 and 38026 (only the last one still displaying M6).

38206 already on the M6?38026? Possibly a typo for something else?

Think @Accelerator59 is on the money. @Busaholic has mistaken the Solo numbers viz 37004 (53704), 37009 (53709) and 38026 (53826) - especially as First 37004 is in Colchester, 37009 is scrapped and 38026 hasn't existed.38206 already on the M6?
(p.s. that was not a serious suggestion before it gets any further!).
Thanks for the info.The permanent cascades into FSW are provisionally as follows:

I imagine most of these Geminis will go to Somerset to replace the remaining Tridents there.The permanent cascades into FSW are provisionally as follows:

Typo on my part. Everything outstanding (the last three batches on my list) is headed to Somerset, to join the 3 Geminis already there and the 3 E400s. All existing Tridents will be replaced and double decks will replace a number of single decks.I imagine most of these Geminis will go to Somerset to replace the remaining Tridents there.
Also there’s a little error there regarding the Lolynes. It should be 32759 as 757 is already back in Cornwall.
Will Cornwall get any of the east lancs tridents, or will these go to Somerset?Typo on my part.

You're right - I do my best to remember these numbers, but nationwide fleet numbering systems hold no interest for me! Thank you. Chalk one up for general decrepitude.Are you sure you got the right fleet numbers there? The first two are Wright Gemini numbers and don’t think the latter exists.
Although, looking at it, you probably meant 53704, 53709 and 53826?
I cant imagine that the plan has changed in the 30 minutes since it was posted!Will cornwall get any of the east lance tridents? Or will these go to somerset.

I know @carlberry has already pointed this out but it really can't be clearer yet it needs to be stressed. @On the Buses kindly provides this; the best we could do is to read it properly.Typo on my part.

And before anyone gets excited, I'm sure that 32433/4/5 is just a typo and it's 32543/4/5

33420 / 21 have tracked this morning on routes, I wonder if these were e500s instead?
I’ve just seen one of them outbound near treliske on a T2.They are still in Cornwall AFAIK, the latter was seen in Camborne today.
With the last three batches being:
33421 is now tracking on the L5 so is definitely not a e500, wouldn't want that on those somewhat small roads.They are still in Cornwall AFAIK, the latter was seen in Camborne today.
That's 22 new deckers for Somerset against 13 now on fleet (exc the open toppers). Is this likely to mean more deckers on the 21? And anything else (the 28 I believe cannot take them)?37184 32583-92 from Glasgow

It’s 28 actually, against what would have been 15.With the last three batches being:

There are three bridges on the A358 at Combe Florey and also Sampford Brett that are 13'9 - so it was fine in the days of VRs etcWith the last three batches being:

Thats seriously impressive......It’s 28 actually, against what would have been 15.
It would be interesting to know the rationale for that. Is it because of college requirements (dupes/overloads), or for other reasons? Also, only for Taunton and Bridgwater?It’s 28 actually, against what would have been 15.
Thank you for sharing that information. Some of those routes would certainly be a scenic delight from the top deck but guess that's nothing more than a lucky additional benefit. Been a while since Yeovil had a regular decker allocation.Yeovil too
Double decking all of any of 21 22 25 54 75 77
Pre Covid we had a number of single decks having to be duplicated.
