Seemingly dressed for the weather with a palm tree
hat, former Western National Bristol SUS4A 672 COD hurries back to Penzance bus station with a healthy loading from Mousehole. The famous Cornish fishing harbour has long been served by narrow, short-wheelbase vehicles on account of its tight corners. The Bristol SUS was designed during 1959/60 specifically with them in mind and, with careful driving from its owner and TV&GWOT Chairman Colin Billington, passengers were able to see how ideally suited to the route it was.
