Penzance lineup |
Now in its sixth year, the Penzance
Vintage Bus Running Day is the UK’s most southerly bus event, providing the
opportunity to ride on preserved buses and coaches to surrounding towns and
villages, such as St.Ives, St.Just, Camborne, Mousehole and Lands End, on a
variety of historical routes. Buses in use ranged from a 1945 Bristol K
to more modern Dennis Darts and Leyland Olympians, and many were typical of
those used by Western National in Cornwall in days gone by. Also
participating was a Bedford OB and a rare Bedford C4, both still in use with
King Harry Coaches of Falmouth.
