Volvo Olympian / Alexander Royale #34192
8 june 2014 - A39 Penryn By-pass, Penryn. Seen here running from Falmouth depot to Camborne depot, presumably for routine maintenance, which is the only reason I can think of why one of these would be using this road on a Sunday!

Volvo Olympian / Alexander Royale #34193
12 november 2014 - Liskey Hill, Perranporth. First Devon & Cornwall, formerly Western National, were for many years the largest operator in Cornwall having inherited the regulated network when privatised in the 1980s. However, over the last 15 years their dominance had been severely beaten by numerous independent operators, but particularly by Western Greyhound in swathes of mid Cornwall. However, as standards at Western Greyhound drop significantly, First have made a comeback by launching a number of competitive services. An example of which is this service, launched just a week before this picture was taken and good loads are already being carried - as can be seen here.

Volvo Olympian / Alexander Royale #34198
21 september 2013 - Penryn, junction of Quarry Hill/Falmouth Road. This vehicle, fitted with Alexander Royale type bodywork, is working a short journey on the trunk route which operates between the town of Falmouth and city of Truro, but only so far as the ASDA superstore in Penryn. Seen here just before the climb through Penryn town centre, with the Penryn river at low tide in the background.
