First Kernow 32027 Volvo B7TL/Alexander ALX400 OIG1794 (V124LGC)
One time London Central AVL24 has an interesting history, and is a remarkable survivor in everyday (albeit seasonal) service. It’s usual haunt is the Lands End Coaster service connecting Penzance, Lands End and St Ives with many coastal settlements in between. In slightly unusual overcast conditions, it’s pictured here at Treen, about half way around the Penzance to Lands End portion of the 3h45 marathon. For the record it wasn’t suffering from the dreaded fan roar that many Volvo B7TLs often do ! At the time, the first few of the next generation of buses for the service were entering service, in the shape of 9 ex Metroline VWs, though they were seemingly proving problematic with electrical issues.
