DSCN0966 Western Greyhound WK51 CAF (R5 OXF) and WK02 BUS (SL02 COU)

Saturday 8 June 2013 (1355) – The only Western Greyhound double decker I managed to photograph was 441 (WK51 CAF) which is seen here from inside 560 (WK02 BUS) when the two buses met at the bottom of St. Buryan Hill near Treen. Due to getting stuck at Lamorna we were running a little late so perhaps the buses don’t normally pass here. Our driver swung over to the pull in on the right to let the double decker pass. We were travelling to Sennen Cove on the 1310 service 504 (Penzance-St. Just) and the double decker was working the 1330 Lands End-Penzance service 501. 441 is a Plaxton President bodied Dennis Trident new to City of Oxford in November 2001 as their number 5 which carried registration number R5 OXF (a number re-used by Oxford a few times since). 560 is a Plaxton Beaver bodied Mercedes-Benz Vario new in May 2002 to Mitchell Coaches of Plean, Stirlingshire, Scotland registered SL02 COU.
