First Kernow Fleet News

The new Mercedes Citaro buses for the Truro Park & Ride have been delivered: WK15DME/F/O/S/U/V/X.

Other buses continue to trickle in from elsewhere within First Group:

31518 M847DUS Volvo Olympian Alexander from First Potteries

34311 L311PWR Volvo Olympian N Counties from First Potteries

The former Park & Ride Scanias are now being repainted with 65762 now in the standard First Group livery. If this is to stay in Cornwall it looks like the much fabled new livery for Cornwall is not going to happen. It sounds like there will be quite an influx of newer low floor buses later in the year and these will all be in standard First livery with KERNOW names.

Phew! Hopefully things will quieten down a bit now….

    There is a mistake in the registration listing of the new Truro P+R Citaro's. Delete WK15DMS, correct registration is WK15DLZ.

      The new buses for Truro Park & Ride are owned by Cornwall County Council. Whoever won the contract would have got them. First haven't bought them.

      I think this remark is a little unfair.. Yes Firsts fleet are a little old, but look at the fares in comparison with Citybus. In the last 18 months or so since Alex Carter has been in charge, First seem to have successfully held on to their market in Tavistock and Torpoint despite Citybus competition and seem now to be holding their own in Mountbatten and Plymstock despite the best effort and full might of Citybus trying to push them out. They have also introuced 2 routes deep into traditional Citybus territory and a sign things are going good is that both these routes have been xtended to a 7 day operation, far cry from the cutting culture of the old First. That added in with much cheaper fares in compison to what they were charging and compared to the competitors shows they are going in the right drection in Plymouth. They have also seen off all competition in Cornwall and severley dented Webberbus in Somerset... not bad compared to the state First were in not so long ago I think!

      A fair bit there to chew on and I'm not as positive as you. In terms of the entire business, there's been some leaps forward. The demise of WG (and the previous tender exercise) has undoubtedly made FK more robust. BoS is more mixed and whilst it's in better shape, I'm not so certain that Webberbus are so dented. The fact that WB HAVE continued with the Wells area incursions and increased around Bridgwater shows its not all flowers. Similarly, there were the fairly substantial service cuts recently though the EDF and p&r work is a definite boon.

      In Plymouth, think this site highlights the disparate opinions. Some say First are doing well, some say not. Some say PCB have nearly half the Tavi trade yet some say much less so. Pays your money for the opinion you fancy!

      In terms of fleet, it's charitable to say that's First's fleet is a little old. In general, it's fairly elderly with an average age of probably c.14 years old in Plymouth. In Somerset, it's a tacit admission in that repainted fleet except the e200s has been registered with dateless plates; good as they are, the B10s they got were mainly X/Y reg so 2000/1 with Tridents even older. FK has some modern e400s but also is the home to many of First's remaining Olympians (albeit many aren't on full day workings).

      That said, improvements are planned and I'm sure that in a year's time, things will be much different again. So, in summary, not as positive as you but not as critical as our gramatically challenged First bashing recidivist!

    Thanks for posting this handy summary Graham - it looks like you've spent a lot of time putting the post together.
    Sad to see an ill informed rant about First from the persistent poster.
    The 'new' 15 reg buses are not First's, they're Cornwall Council vehicles purchased specially for the Truro Park & Ride contract which First operates for the council.
    There is nothing wrong with operating older vehicles - and First comply to the same basic engineering requirements that all operators have to. Buses are given an MOT type inspection every 4 weeks at the most, and if there was any serious defect then the bus wouldn't be allowed on the road. First D&C haven't been called to a maintenance related PI for a number of years now, which suggests their fleet is up to the accepted standards DVSA require. A bus needing some paint isn't a 'serious' mechanical defect, surprisingly.
    It is questionable whether it is worth painting a bus that has two years of useful operational life ahead of it- step entrance double deckers cannot be used on local bus services post 2017, and it is highly likely that the vehicles just transferred in are going to replaced before that time comes anyway. Stagecoach paint their fleet once every three to four years. Other companies have longer intervals between repaints. My local Go Ahead subsidiary works to a 5/6/7 year interval, but they frequently transfer buses between 'brands' (or depots as most think of them) thus necessitating a full repaint.
    Don't forget that the collapse of Western Greyhound has created a major need for ANY serviceable spare vehicles available within First and all operating companies have been asked to send spare buses down to maintain the services in the shorter term.
    It is highly likely that Plymouth is busy preparing those vehicles for service just as they are busy painting the BoS fleet into green.
    A lot of younger kit is going into First D&C now and one presumes Plymouth will get some of this in due course.
    A number of single decks require replacement before the year is out, if they aren't converted to DDA like PCB has with their older Dart SLFs. First D&C are pitching their fleet offering for Plymouth down the older route, which means the margins required are lower than PCB who have adopted a totally different fleet strategy going for regular intakes of brand new stock.

    The Truro ones are supplied and owned/leased by Cornwall Council; First just operate them.

    Plymouth City Council could do the same with their Park and Ride operations but have elected to allow First to operate them commercially. You get what you pay for....PCC don't pay for anything! And you know what.....I think you know all that too.
