It is time for the usual weekly look back on what has been published on the Registered Local Bus Services site over the last week. As always click through for more details including timetables and maps.
A lot busier than the last few weeks. As usual these days much of what is reported below has already happened with quiet a few service reductions due to staff shortages.
Plymouth Citybus have a few services on a temporary reduced service for the half term week, along with a couple of planned changes in December.
The really interesting one is Oakleys service 52 which started back in January this year, and has only now come through as a new registration.

Anyone know why PCB data is not showing on Bus Times? The vehicles are tracking but no timetable data is showing? Also, pre-pandemic, what would have been the busiest (passenger numbers wise) bus route in Plymouth?
