Transport for Cornwall website has changed to be Go Cornwall Bus - they've changed the logos! Transport for Cornwall brand disappearing?
ReplyDeleteI believe its just the proper separation or operator (Go Cornwall) from the contractor - (Transport for Cornwall). originally the web site had "Transport for Cornwall - a Go Ahead Company" which it isnt. Transport for Cornwall is the council umbrella for the services provided by Go Ahead and its sub contractors.
DeleteCould someone explain why the Transport for Cornwall website now clicks through to a Go Cornwall branded site. What has happened to the TfC brand? Any info gratefully received.
ReplyDeleteIt appears the open tops 95 and 122 have commenced operation aswell both with a 30min headway. The 95 also has a evening service tho imagine this is closed top as there still 2 postioning jnys from exeter. The 122 now avoids the zoo and goes to goodrington
ReplyDeleteApparently, Paignton Zoo has shut permanently due to the loss of Living Coasts, which is why the 122 is now Babbacombe - Devon Bay Holiday Park (Goodrington)
DeleteHas Paignton Zoo closed? Not heard that!
DeletePaignton Zoo has NOT closed, more rubbish being spread around!! It reopened to the public this very week.
Deleteit says on there twitter that Paignton Zoo is open today but fully booked, so dont look liks its shut down, interesting the 122 dont go in there though
DeletePaignton Zoo is open as of Monday 12th - https://www.paigntonzoo.org.uk/plan-your-visit/updates
Deletethe evening 95 are worked by a single deckers that comes off the 1815 157 from Sidmouth. Paignton Zoo hasn't closed open every day from 10am, pre-booking only for entry though. understand the reason for the 122 not going to the zoo this year is the bus bay/turning point is being used for queuing again this year same as last year when the 122 start/finished on Totnes Rd
ReplyDeleteThe Zoo's website states they are open every day from 10.00 but visitors must book in advance.
ReplyDeleteLiving Coasts has closed, but Paignton Zoo itself has most definitely not closed - in fact it reopened on Monday. The reason the 122 isn't going there is, as I understand it, a problem with the terminal arrangements. 22 and Gold still stop nearby.
ReplyDeleteAny news on the Dartmoor Explorer
ReplyDeleteShould start 16 May if covid unlocking timetable remains unchanged
