It was a hard slot getting all three locations done, we started early and caught the morning rush hour bus services at Exeter. They had reduced the disabled parking at the municipal offices to two hours so we just parked aon the metered bay where we can stay as long as we need with Mandy's disabled parking disc. It wasn't long before I got a miserable driver wagging his finger a at me,could have been polish driver of course but who knows until they open their mouth. It was a hard task getting a an hour there, the bus station is still in use but the stagecoach depot has been demolished.. we had coffee Day a fairly tatty Starbucks as John Lewes had long queue. The next stop was at Torquay, quite lucky with the parking and it was mostly full sunshine. Plenty of open toppers about but overall buses seemed to be a bit thin on the ground so I decided that we'd best press on to Plymouth. A bit more difficult to park But we got sorted eventually but by this time of the afternoon with the sun out it was very difficult filming and I wascready to give up but eventually the cloud came over and I did get sorted. I thought there was going to be more new buses but he traces of Plymouth city bus have nearly all gone. And it's hard to tell who owns what buses as there are few in any livery other than route branding. The hotel took a bit of finding, it's in the hotel ghetto way on past the depot. We are in the future in which is a bit like a premier inn only different. Tomorrow we shall get away sharp and head down into Cornwall visiting Truro and Penzance perhaps plus newquay. The weather will continue with sunshine and showers but Wednesday looks quite grim with rain heading in from the Atlantic.
