DSCN1126 Western Greyhound WK54 CUC in Polperro - 11 Jun 2013

Tuesday 11 June 2013 (1904) – Western Greyhound 565 (WK54 CUC), a Plaxton Beaver bodied Mercedes-Benz Vario new in May 2004, seen as close to the heart of Polperro as any buses can really get. The small fishing village has such narrow streets in the harbour area that traffic restrictions exist. A large coach and car park is located at Crumplehorn, the top of the long main street of the village, and visitors then walk down into the centre or travel in a small shuttle vehicle. However, at the end of the day the last five evening trips of Western Greyhound services actually extend from Crumplehorn down into the village itself. This would be the 1911 service 574 from the village to Liskeard which is shown in the CCC timetable as starting from Crumplehorn at 1913. The buses shown departing Crumplehorn at 2013, 2113, 2213 and 2313 depart from the village two minutes earlier and are numbered service 572 running to Looe Bay Holiday Park.
