Sunday Savers for Cornwall

Cheap Sunday Fares in Cornwall.

A new fares promotion for Cornwall offers a special fare of just £1 a trip (and even better value £2 for a family ticket): Cornwall Council has once again teamed up with bus operator First Devon & Cornwall to offer a special Sunday Saver bus fare for any single journey within Cornwall on Sundays from 10 January - 28 March 2010. The ‘Get Around for Less campaign is aimed at encouraging passengers onto the Sunday bus services at a quiet time of year. In order to promote the benefits of Sunday bus travel, a number of local attractions and businesses such as the National Seal Sanctuary at Gweek are offering discounted admission to people who can show a valid bus ticket for that day, giving the travelling public real value for money. Bus fares will be £1 adult, 60p child, £2 family (up to 5 people " no more than 2 adults) and Concessionary Bus Pass holders still travel for free. The Sunday network of bus services is now quite extensive and this initiative stems from the need to ensure potential passengers are aware of this and to give an opportunity to use services at reduced fares. Adverts in the local press, leaflets and posters will be directing people to www.cornwallpublictransport.info where there is a list of businesses offering discounts and further ideas for days out " new businesses will be added during the campaign. You can also view and print maps and timetables and get further information on journey planning. More... Thanks to the anonymous comment I should confirm that this offer is also available on Western Greyhound buses as well as First which does make it even more useful, especially for anyone  planning a journey from Plymouth.  * * * * * * * * * * * Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday - I have been engrossed in online searching for a new camera and didn't realise just how long it took me! The good news is I have now ordered a nice new Panasonic Lumix camera which should be with me within the week. Cant wait to get back out there taking photographs - which I am sure will soon start to appear on the blog!
