Truronian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Truronian was a bus service and coaching holiday operator primarily located in mid-Cornwall, England, United Kingdom acquired by First Group in April 2008.
The name Truronian is still used on services in the ex-Truronian area.
The company was formed in 1987 following the acquisition of small coaching and private-hire businesses. Truronian had continued to expand in recent years following awards of tenders from Cornwall County Council and at time of aquisition by First Group has over 200 staff and around 100 vehicles.
Its main operating base was located at Newham Bus Depot in Truro, but in addition, it had 2 smaller outstations at Flambards in Helston and at the Eden Project at St Austell. The company ran the Eden Project's Park and Ride system.
Truronian also had a travelshop in Truro.
The company was purchased by First Group in February 2008.
