21 september 2014 - Looe Bridge, Looe. A type usually overlooked by British bus enthusiasts is the humble van-convertions based on Mercedes Vario chassis. This is one of many built by Scottish operator, Essbee of Coatbridge, now earning its keep at the other end of the UK.

Mercedes-Benz 814 D / Plaxton Beaver 2 #573 LCV
21 september 2014 - Station Road, Looe. Seen here branded for, and operating the special Looe Music Festival Shuttle Bus service is this recent addition to the OTS fleet, followed by Western Greyhound sister 577 (WK04HSD), which was new to local independent Hamblys of Pelynt. This type of vehicle still forms the mainstay of services in rural parts of Cornwall, going to demonstrate what excellent vehicles they are in such isolated parts where inaccessible areas and marginal routes benefit from their manoeuvrability, reliability and low operating costs. Such a shame their working lives on scheduled service work are almost over with the introduction of disability discrimination laws in the new year.

Mercedes-Benz 814 D / Plaxton Beaver 2 #813 HAF
21 september 2014 - Looe Bridge, Looe. Every September the small harbour town of Looe hosts a popular music festival, and this year the organisers asked my employers to provide a service connecting local camp sites with the town centre. The 3 buses used to operate the very popular service all received dedicated branding and one is seen here on the iconic town bridge which links the Eastern and Western sides of the town, which is divided by the harbour in the channel.
