More tinkering with the 46/47 - these routes have probably changed more times than any other Citybus routes this last few months. I am guessing this is adjusting the routes through Kings Tamerton taken by the 16 and 46/7 although it may just be coincidence that both of these routes are changing.
Finally we have another one for today (5th October - seeing as I forgot to send this posting live this morning I can add to it!)
