DSCN0909 First Devon and Cornwall S554 RWP and MX56 AEM

Friday 7 June 2013 (1526) – St. Ives, Cornwall. The town’s small bus station is built on a shelf into the rising cliff above the town and the bus parking area is only capable of taking about four modern day sized buses at best. Two First Devon & Cornwall buses are in the picture. 52554 (S554 RWP), a Plaxton Beaver bodied Mercedes-Benz Vario, was loading as the 1530 service 16 to Penzance via Nancledra. 69222 (MX56 AEM), a Wright bodied Volvo B7RLE new to First Manchester, cautiously enters the site as it arrived on the 1345 service 14 from Truro.
