It suggests that the main service to Redruth (and its variations) ran at least every two hours, with two other shopping services on Fridays to Redruth. <br /><br />This map shows a lot of such services provided by 'other' operators in Cornwall at that time. <br /><br />A 1985 Cornwall CC timetable shows the main service as being provided by C R Williams (Coaches) of Trelyn, Goonbell, St, Agnes.They are also shown as operating a service from Trevallas to Truro via Mithian on Wednesdays.Clive Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059026405966912480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-8124959823203742014-10-21T22:15:49.737+01:002014-10-21T22:15:49.737+01:00Pre-Truronian, the main bus service between Truro ...Pre-Truronian, the main bus service between Truro and St Agnes was provided for many years by an operator based in the village.
