**Updated section regarding the Penzance running day;
Penzance VR Revival and Bus Running day, 21/04/13
The grand total of VRs in use at this event has sadly reduced by three each year since 2011 when nine were in use. This year the following three were used;
OTA290G
7 - 10.15 Penzance - Perranuthnoe (believed to have work this in place of a single decker but not confirmed)
7 - 10.45 Perranuthnoe - Penzance (believed to have work this in place of a single decker but not confirmed)
11.30 Penzance - St Just
12.05 St Just - Penzance
1 - 14.15 Penzance - Lands End
1 - 15.15 Lands End - Penzance
(it should have worked the 1315 to Perranuthnoe and back but this was Olympian A754VAF).
BFJ175L (which had been a spare bus)
17 - 14.00 Penzance - St Ives
17 - 14.35 St Ives - Penzance
Possibly worked two trips to Perranuthnoe before the above.
AFJ749T (first known passenger use in preservation, last used in December 2006 with First)
20 - 11.45 Penzance - Praa Sands
20 - 12.20 Praa Sands - Penzance
17 - 13.00 Penzance - St Ives
17 - 13.35 St Ives - Penzance
10B - 14.30 Penzance - St Just
10 - 15.25 St Just - Penzance

Western Greyhound LFJ858W was booked to attend and work a duty but this was replaced by JWV259W which oddly, and unfortunate for a 'VR revival', did not work any services.

Thanks to Matt P. and Chris Martin for the information shown here.
