Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Route Numbers in article[edit]

Do we really need to include all of the route numbers which First Devon and Cornwall buses serve? For a start, the list is incomplete, because it includes literally no Devon routes at all. Also, looking at other articles about bus companies, for example National Express, there seems to be more information about the company rather than a list of service numbers. Surely we can just replace the services section with a link to the First Devon and Cornwall website (if it isn't already there), and allow visitors to look up a route themselves?

I added the external link to First Group plc. Website. (They appear to have changed it, so I couldn't find a link to go straight to first devon and cornwall) Matthuxtable 21:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Any information is useful here on Wikipedia, so yes, we do need to have a list of routes and places served. If it's incomplete, the obvious thing would be to expand it! Ted Ted 13:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm not convinced it's useful. If it is wrong then it is less than useless (not only do you not know, but you don't know that you don't know). I think we should just give a link to the company's online schedule if they have one. This is WikiPedia, an encyclopedia, not WikiBusSchedule. RJFJR 16:28, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup[edit]

With reference to my previous comment on this talk page, I have tagged the page for cleanup. Feel free to discuss below or ask me about it on my talk page. Matthuxtable 21:17, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures Please[edit]

Anyone got any pictures?

In response to the anonymous comment, I have added two photos. However, I have only managed to get rear views of the buses, so if anyone could get a front view it would be great! Then you could put it a the top and move my pictures down! Arriva436 (talk) 22:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to this, I have uploaded some images from Flickr that I have put on the article. Arriva436^talk 21:02, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have now added some more, and replaced the images showing the rear view of buses. There is now a varied selection. Arriva436^talk 10:42, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First South West[edit]

To reflect the recent name change (see updated Companies House reference) I've moved the page from First Devon & Cornwall to First South West. Also updated to reflect loss of Plymouth routes. I shall update the fleet and route size in the morning if I can find an accurate fleet list and routes list, as these will have obviously decreased with the loss of Plymouth.
