Volvo B7TL / Alexander ALX400 #30877
9 may 2017 - Edgcumbe Avenue, Newquay. Although built before 2001, First Manchester had modified this batch of vehicles to be DDA compliant and therefore when First South West inherited them, they were fit to use after the 2017 DDA deadline for double-deck vehicles, despite their advancing age.

Volvo Olympian / Alexander Royale #34193
12 november 2014 - Liskey Hill, Perranporth. First Devon & Cornwall, formerly Western National, were for many years the largest operator in Cornwall having inherited the regulated network when privatised in the 1980s. However, over the last 15 years their dominance had been severely beaten by numerous independent operators, but particularly by Western Greyhound in swathes of mid Cornwall. However, as standards at Western Greyhound drop significantly, First have made a comeback by launching a number of competitive services. An example of which is this service, launched just a week before this picture was taken and good loads are already being carried - as can be seen here.

Mercedes-Benz 811 D / Plaxton Beaver #HHZ 5929
8 august 2014 - School Road, Summercourt, Newquay. My very own bus, seen here during the drive home the day I took ownership. I took the opportunity to take a photograph with a much older and well cared for preserved bus with local connections.
AEC Routemaster RML #RML2290
14 june 2014 - Round Garden, Crantock. For my 200th photo on Phototrans, there was no alternative to a big red Routemaster. Now retired from almost 50 years of hard work in the capital, this British legend has come to rural Cornwall for an easier life. Now predominantly used for private hires, and very popular for transporting guests to and from wedding venues as it was when this photo was taken.
Mercedes-Benz 814 D / Plaxton Beaver 2 #570
10 february 2014 - Watergate Road, Watergate Bay, Newquay. In what I expect to be its`s final year of stage-carriage service in the UK is this Plaxton Beaver "Plus": fitted with coach style seats and a small drop-well boot. Potentially one of many to be exported to Poland over the course of the next year.

Mercedes-Benz 814 D / Plaxton Beaver 2 #570
27 february 2014 - Budnic Hill, Perranporth. Seen passing the entrance of the quiet Perran Sands Holiday Park is this Vario, one of many in the Western Greyhound fleet. With the DDA compliance deadline for this type of bus now only 9 months away, front line service is coming to a close for this type. One Western Greyhound Vario has recently been exported to Poland, apparently with many more to follow. This one too, perhaps?

Mercedes-Benz 814 D / Plaxton Beaver 2 #500
27 february 2014 - Budnic Hill, Perranporth. Thought I`d try something a little different using the sign at the entrance to this holiday complex built on the sand dunes on the north coast of Cornwall. During the summer season buses will enter the resort, but for now they can continue easily.

10 february 2014 - B3276, Mawgan Porth. This bus could not be any further from it`s first home: both in terms of distance and the type of terrain!

Mercedes-Benz 814 D / Plaxton Beaver 2 #599
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.

Dennis Trident 2 / Alexander ALX400 #499
10 february 2014 - Watergate Road, Watergate Bay, nr. Newquay. This operator acquired a number of these former London Dennis Tridents following the need to replace buses lost in a large depot fire last year, and also due to an increasingly urgent need to replace step-entrance buses. This service very rarely operates with double-deck vehicles now, although in the past 2 full journeys a day were operated by a double-decker. So, to see this was a massive surprise on a morning journey.
