Stagecoach Devon

Friday 7 June 2013 (1524) – St. Ives, Cornwall. The town’s small bus station is built on a shelf into the rising cliff amongst all the cluster of houses and other buildings and the bus parking area is only capable of taking about four modern day sized buses at best. First Devon & Cornwall 52554 (S554 RWP), a Plaxton Beaver bodied Mercedes-Benz Vario, was poised to work the 1530 service 16 to Penzance via Nancledra. Stagecoach 33942 (V942 DFH), an Alexander bodied Dennis Dart working on hire to Western Greyhound, cautiously enters the site as it arrived on the 1500 service 547 from Hayle. This bus had been loaned to cover the buses lost in the depot fire a short while earlier and carried Stagecoach Swindon fleetnames.
