Hope you all had a great Christmas. Plymothian Transit is still on a bit of a break so the next post, unless anything major happens in the meantime, will be Cornwall Transit 027 next Tuesday 5th January when we get going again properly. So for now I wish you all a Happy New year!
Happy New Year, Graham, I hope that you are enjoying your break from blogging.
ReplyDeleteJust a small point on your map for service 70. Portwrinkle is always served by a double run from Crafthole, so your little blue line shouldn't be shown as a bus link. I always find your maps really helpful - often much better than the operator's own efforts to display their wares to their potential customers.
Oops, I meant service 71 !
ReplyDeleteHappy new year
ReplyDeleteHappy new year
ReplyDeletehow many time city bus change times and routes in 2016
ReplyDeleteThis could be a good game. I go for 5, once every 2.5 months seems average
DeleteOnce. But does it matter how many times as long as they are responding to passenger needs and working to improve reliability issues then they have to be applauded.
DeleteWith some of the up and coming road works across the city driving any where will be a serious issue. I suspect all operators will have to examine timetables as reliability is going to be the bigger issue across the City for 2016
RE: Target Travel (Dealtop) Fleet list
ReplyDeleteDo target still own the two of these they had?
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=target+travel+plymouth&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=979&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwijpqmx7IbKAhXFRhQKHd0lBSoQ_AUIBygC&dpr=1#imgrc=mggtgiIC8IBkCM%3A
Do they still have SA02 BZR?
16 - YJ55 YHK - I think is liveried up for 56 Dartmoor Pony
Their website also says no services 25/12 to 2/1 - not sure if this is old info, but there was definately a service 39 yesterday (30/12) as it past me in Mannamead! Also, their new 2015 website did not appear!
target still has SA02 BZR and 16 is branded for 56 route also the old Volvo Olympians are now withdrawn from service.
