Cornwall Transit 035

Welcome to Cornwall Transit

Just a few odds and ends to report. First South West have a few changes originally due for the start of May but nothing actually noted, so they may have been postponed till the end of the month. Plymouth Citybus have a few changes to their Cornish network but they are not very forthcoming as to the details, very unlike Citybus. The other headliner this week is the transferring of Stagecoachs 584/595 to First. I guess the big shock is that there are no changes to any of the St Ives shuttle services - for probably the first time since I started Cornwall Transit!

      Presumably the reason for the comment is the spelling of TorPINT.
      If so its a bit harsh and not really necessary!

      Yes to some extent you can, but its not always obvious what has changed, especially when timing points are changed and timetables are displayed differently from previous versions. The whole point is that it should not be up to passengers to search for the details - they should be properly explained, something which Plymouth Citybus are normally very good at. Since this post was put up the details have appeared on the Citybus site, so it looks like it was just an oversight that details were not published earlier.

    A summary of the Kernow changes from late May is now on the main Firstgroup site, but not yet on the local First Kernow website!

    Things are improving. FirstGroup’s UK Bus Division has announced £70m of orders for 305 new vehicles for 2016-17. It brings its investment over the last six years to £455m in 2,500 new vehicles. ... The strong developing partnership in Cornwall will see First invest £7.1m in 30 new vehicles.

      Don't take everything you read at face value, First has spun this announcement very well. The figure of 2500 includes a significant number of buses which went into London before the ops there were sold off, so are no longer part of the Group. Ignoring the effect of the disposal of the London business, numbers-wise 305 is still rather low in comparison to preceding years which averaged around 450. 2014 saw 432 new buses (none for London) and last year there were 385.
      Still, heavy investment in Cornwall (at long last) is very good news but what about BoS?
