First Kernow have now announced their timetables from 4th September
The main changes are:
27 – the first and last buses of the day no longer extend to/from Cornwall Services – alternative buses are provided by Go Cornwall Bus route 26.
Land’s End Coaster – the winter timetable is significantly different to now. Please check before you travel.
Tin Coaster – all buses serve Penzance town centre. Alexandra Road will be served by Go Cornwall Bus route 5/5A.
Some of our routes also have minor timetable changes (typically by a few minutes).
Most of our other changes are to meet the expected demands of the new academic year – predominantly on buses that serve Turo & Penwith Colleges.

We are also getting a few timetables coming through for Plymouth Citybus services from the same weekend which I am sure will appear on their web site very soon. I think I am going to be very busy over the coming weeks
First South West Ltd is the company. Cornwall by Kernow and Adventures by Bus are the operating brands. No such thing as First Kernow.
ReplyDeleteWell there is such a thing as First Kernow - as you say its the operating brand for First South West Ltd. On Traveline the timetables all appear as First Kernow so that's why I use it, when the full Devon & Cornwall Transit is published for the week they appear as First South West Ltd as the company name on the registration. At then end of the day most people know who I mean!
DeleteI assume the early introduction of the winter timetable on the Land's End Coaster is due to ongoing staff shortages. There can still be quite heavy loading on some journeys in the first half of September.
ReplyDeleteWill never cope with September loadings
