Liskeard by Citybus

Peter Murnaghan has been on the new 32A and send these pictures..

"Living in Liskeard, I had long yearned for an excuse to take a bus ride along Whitsand Bay, but the minibuses have never really appealed. But, now with Plymouth Citybus running the 32A from Plymouth, across the ferry and back to my home town, I decided it was worth forsaking the quick train ride this time for the scenic bus ride. I was surprised to see the route in the hands of Volvo B7's, rather than short single deckers. There were plenty of contacts with overhanging tree branches and encounters with other vehicles on the narrow Cornish lanes. But, as a scenic experience, this route rates among the best in this part of the world for the moment. And at nearly 2 hours in length, a quick train journey back provides a bit of respite from the excitement.

Thanks to Peter for the photos. This is high on my list for the summer...

Plymothian Bus Services: Plymouth Citybus 32

Council check: South Yorkshire Each week we rate how well a local council promoted the bus services in its area. This week, it's the turn of the four councils of South Yorkshire, who work together in transport matters through Travel South Yorkshire.

TfL’s curious travel suggestions This is not to criticize TfL explicitly, as anyone who looks as the vast array of transport options that exist in London would be probably impressed that it is able to suggest anything at all. I am just lucky that I know the network well enough to ditch the computer generated advice, and go by human intuition instead

Mega-Fire Closes Morecambe Prom! - But What's Happened to the Buses? the road layout in central Morecambe is quite complex and it is by no means obvious (at least to The Man on the Lancaster Omnibus) what form the diversionary routes are taking.

[part 1] However they are presented, these services are very popular with Joe Public; indeed, York is one of the few Cities where this sort of service is a huge success and has been expanded time and time again fbb Was Invited, but Didn't Go ... [part 2] The distance from the car park to the centre of York and back is about 7 miles, so the maximum number of trips possible without additional charge is, in theory, about a dozen. So "opportunity charging" will be necessary using the "electricity pump" as shown here.

LEON DANIELS BattleBus On Thursday morning I was delighted to launch our 'newest' bus. But unlike the fleet of New Routemasters currently joining the fleet, this 'new' bus is 100 years old.
