DSCN1015 First Devon and Cornwall timetable and traffic notice at Mousehole - 9 Jun 2013

Sunday 9 June 2013 (1209) – The small fishing village of Mousehole 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 the service was covered by an Optare Solo. However, the Solo 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 a little way short of the normal terminus. The bus stop by the harbour carried a notice to advise passengers of the change. The Solo ran until the 1115 trip from Penzance/1143 from Mousehole. A Vario became available for the remaining trips commencing with the 1215 service from Penzance/1243 service from Mousehole.
