10 february 2014 - Watergate Road, Watergate Bay, nr. Newquay. I was employed by Western Greyhound when this bus was purchased, second-hand. Although many of this type were owned and operated, this one was different. With wood effect dashboard and in immaculate condition with resplendent silver paint work and red coach-type seats, the decision was taken not to repaint this vehicle and make it a vehicle for private hires. When not engaged on private hire work, it would do a duty that kept it local and on routes where it was not likely to be damaged. It gained it`s own Facebook page as local people started to spot this "different" Western Greyhound bus all over Cornwall. Now time has passed, it will work all routes though was repainted in a darker shade of silver in 2012 and received special vinyls to commemorate the Queens diamond jubilee, which it retains to this day.
