Plymouth Citybus Network Update
I will of course cover the full timetables with maps etc nearer the time on Devon Transit Edition 039. The big news here is the return of the 5 into Saltash wjich could be seen as increased competition with Stagecoach, but infact provides Saltash with a useful link to Devonport etc so is not just another wasteful duplication of resources.
The other interesting change is the introduction of a Sunday service for the people of
citybus number route 26 used to go Devonport and then saltash
ReplyDeletethat was round 10 years but stoped
72 still does though only every two hours.
DeleteYes, and since then we've had the 43A, 5/A, 10/A, revised 10/A and now 11/A, but our bus stop flag still says 26! They were quick enough to cover over the Western Greyhound stickers, but didn't update their own. The change from 5 to 10 was to split the Saltash and Plymstock parts of the route, but Stagecoach seem happy with through running, and now CityBus are reintroducing it.
Delete"Increased competition with Stagecoach" - should we read anything into the fact that the 2 & 2A do not appear on SC's route map?
ReplyDeleteNo - thats probably more to do with their awful web site and how difficult it its to find anything!
DeleteI suspect the extension of the green flash to Saltash is a retaliation to Stagecoach moving into Ekburton at other end of route. After all 26 did this a while ago and was withdrawn
DeleteThe citybus travel shop have a map on there wall of there routes and stagecoach routes!!
