Yes, its the return of the Holiday buses for the half term holiday 22 - 25 October.
It seems that Citybus had more confidence in the Newquay service as the summer registration was not end dated like the others, registered to run Mondays in school holidays only, so the registration above is just a change of timetable.
The other three are new registrations to the same pattern as the summer run, but now these do continue beyond the half term holiday, with all four services now running during school holidays only with no end date.
The services did pick up after a fairly slow start and were running pretty full by the end of the summer holiday run.

All the Stagecoach new Plymouth services are on vosa too thus week including 52 that appeared Tuesday along with a variation Thursday? Timetables are on Travelline
ReplyDeleteStage coach only won the tender bus routes couse .target travel shut down soon and city bus dont want the routes
ReplyDeleteNot strictly true I know people who work for PCB and they were very unhappy re Stagecoach picking up this work as they feel it lets Stagecoach into areas with potential for expansion off these services. Target travel have reapplied for llicence but could be too late to Save Devon County Council contracts too.
