DSCN1010 First Devon and Cornwall W807 PAF near Mousehole - 9 Jun 2013

Sunday 9 June 2013 (1134) – The small fishing village of Mousehole (pronounced ‘Mouzle’) in Cornwall has such narrow streets with tight 90 degree turns that only certain types of bus are suitable – normally a Mercedes-Benz Vario. For the first few trips of First Devon and Cornwall’s service 6 today a Vario wasn’t available and Optare Solo 53007 (W807 PAF) covered the service. It was too long/too wide to negotiate the last part of the route down


to the harbour so had to terminate at the ‘The Old Coastguard’, a hotel short of the normal terminus where it is seen in this photograph. A Vario became available for the next trip onwards so normal service was then resumed through to the harbour. St. Michael’s Mount, at Marazion, can be seen in the background across the bay.
