Sanders in Cornwall

Dave King reports the sighting of three Sanders Coaches in Mid Cornwall today. He suggests from the window stickers that they are probably in the area in connection with the Boardmasters Surf Festival which is taking place near Newquay this weekend.



He observed Volvo B13RT/ Jonckheeres 919 DLZ 822 and 920 DLZ 844 along with Van Hool T915 / Alicron 800 WH11 CHR



Apparently the Sanders' contingent in Cornwall is even larger with an additional four coaches later reported present on our Facebook site. They are Volvo B9Rs PVF 377, 259 VYC, W30 SCL and Volvo B11R SC23 NJS

Later in Newquay, whilst photographing the shuttle buses, he saw ex First Norwich Volvo B9TL 36171 BD11 CFU on service 87 from Truro. Following the loss of college and schools work at First Kernow it is reported that all of the ex Norwich Volvo B9TL's are soon to move elsewhere.

Many thanks to Dave for the information and photos and to James Morgan for details of the other coaches
