Continuing our look at timetable changes being made from the 4th January by First:
Applications To Vary Existing Services: VOSA 04 NOV 2014
- Variation Accepted:
- Operating between PLYMOUTH Bretonside Bus Station and LAUNCESTON Westgate Street
- given service number 76
- effective from 05-Jan-2015.
- To amend Timetable.
The detail
Service 76: There are some minor changes to afternoon journeys from Plymouth and Callington. On schooldays the 1445 from Plymouth will run 10 minutes earlier and also serve Callington Community College and Launceston Tesco. As a result the current 1555 from Callington will run 20 minutes later at 1615

Comment
Although First now find themselves competing with Plymouth Citybus on this route rather than Western Greyhound, its clear that this minor timetable change is more to do with local school duties rather than anything competitive. First currently only run on the Launceston to Plymouth section as they lost the tender for the Bude section to Western Greyhound from the 1st June 2014.

ReplyDeleteI must admit I am at a loss to see what has changed here? The free bus pass scheme has always only been from 09:30 onwards nationally, its just that some councils pay for it to run earlier in some cases. Has a local council changed this recently?
Deletei use a free bus pass on the city buses and on first and it is hard getting to work before 9:30. the only good thing is that citybus lets you pay for a child singel if you have a free bus pass.
DeleteFirst bus only charge £1 anywhere on their routes before 9.30 on production of a bus pass/
DeleteFirst Kernow appear to be expanding yet again now taking over routes from Cornwall Busways who are ceasing trading on Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteanon 29/12/14 17:14 If you are travelling before 9:30 with concessionary pass, you are paying through the nose with Citybus, it is £1 flat fare with First even if coming in from Tavistock, as been for a good 18 months now
