PENZANCE RUNNING DAY - 17 April 2016 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Cornwall Bus
Preservation Society in association with the Thames Valley & Great
Western Omnibus Trust invites you to come to sunny, warm West
Cornwall for our event on Sunday 17 April 2016. Bring all the family
and friends and spend the weekend in Cornwall. This will be the 9th
vintage bus running day in Penzance following the original Final VR
Running Day on 9 December 2006 – yes it’s more than 9 years since
VRs were withdrawn from service!
The Running Day will be based at Penzance Bus Station with vintage
bus services running from 10.00 until 17.00. Routes will include
Penzance to Camborne, St Ives, St Just, Hayle, Marazion/Perranuthnoe,
Praa Sands, Paul/Sheffield and out to Sennen Cove and Land’s End.
There will be a new circular route to Sancreed via Newlyn Bridge,
Drift and Tremethick Cross and an open-top town service round
Penzance. Again we are planning to run small vehicles into Mousehole,
a highlight of the last 3 years’ events.
A feeder service to Penzance (18A) leaves Camborne Bus Station at
09:20 and returns from Penzance at 17:30 (arr. Camborne 18:10).A
feeder service to Penzance (17) leaves St Ives Bus Station at 09:35
and the last return from Penzance departs at 16:00 (arr. St Ives
16:30). |
