Caught on Camera: First 54602

The smaller end of the bus operating fleet

We have been having a bit of a look at the smaller end of the bus market over the past week or so, but this is perhaps one of the smallest buses that will feature here. First Devon and Cornwall 54602 was caught on my new camera last week sitting at Bretonside Bus Station. It seems to be used more for staff etc these days than in service but it does look very smart in full 'barbie' livery. This and sister Transit 54601 came to First from Truronian but were actually new to Wheal Briton. Thanks to Simon Coates for the picture of 54601 still with Wheal Briton. Clearly a little bit of blue and pink make all the difference! ©Simon Coates Truro Coach Park. (With permission)
