These will no doubt eventually appear on the PTBS site, but as usual at the moment they have not appeared on DVSA site (COVID19 has meant a relaxing of the rules) so trying to match up timetables and service registrations is not that easy at the moment!)
It would seem that common sense has returned, with First resuming the evening journeys on routes T1 and U4. It was crazy for Transport for Cornwall (Citybus) to be publicising isolated journeys on these routes, under contract to Cornwall Council, as an entirely separate entity from the daytime journeys on these commercial routes operated by First.
ReplyDeleteSuch insular nonsense used to occcur during the early days of de-regulation, post 1986, but the industry matured after that. A great pity that we had to go through the summer with separate timetables, although Covid probably obscured this daftness from most people.
Unfortunately not so clear cut. TfC still run some early morning T1 journeys and also the evening journeys between Penzance and Camborne. It now means there are no through evening journeys across Camborne, so arguably worse than it was before.
DeletePLYMOUTH SCHOOLS: Some runs are covered by diverting buses from normal routes for the one run. Vehicles being used include 416,433,442 and it seems whatever E400's are available, (418 although with a green disc does not appear to have been used? Does any one know if 1215/1216 have been used in service? Tavi routes 104 and 105 using coaches: 317,320 on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteCALYWITH COLLEGE: DD routes again seem to be using whatever E400's are available, SD routes Darts, e200 or e200mmc seemingly randomly.
More info welcomed.
1215 was being used on the 34 last week on afternoon runs
