14 Feb, Cornwall - end of the First Era

Saturday 14th February will be the final day of operation for FirstGroup in Cornwall, a significant day in the evolving history of West Country bus services. Trust Supporters will join the Cornwall Bus Preservation Society (CBPS) as they mark the occasion by duplicating selected bus services with CBPS preserved buses Nos 1121 and 1228, starting from Camborne from 14:26.

To endorse this FirstGroup tribute, it is anticipated that Trust Supporters will travel in Bristol VRT No. 1203 in First's pink fade livery together with Mercedes 811D No. 357 resplendent in First's Badgers and Flags livery.

Rather than a celebration, the event is to acknowledge the people, vehicles, and history that have kept Cornwall moving for decades and the Trust echoes the CBPS sentiments.
