Service Changes from this weekend

These would normally have been published here yesterday bus as there are so many I present them below. All from either the 4th or 5th September. As usual click through on the licence numbers to get the full information, history and timetables / maps where available.  Most of these do have full timetables although there are still a few outstanding for Plymouth Citybus: 5 5A, 20 20A, 25, 28, 61. There is also a new service 27 for which the new registration has yet to appear in the daily download so is absent from this list. Hopefully these details will appear over the next few days. I have a feeling there are a few others which have yet to appear, but with so many its been difficult to keep up with everything!

  1. Wow who would have thought two bus company sharing the same route wouldn't work, great thinking by Cornwall council (rolling eyes), glad to see it's back in the hands of Kernow. Some of the usual revisions by Stagecoach however I do think the Gold/X38 needs a big overhaul, merge it all into one route between Plymouth & Totnes with variations between Exeter/Paignton/Dartmouth which should help more with the viability of the X38.

    1. Where a route has a mixture of commercial and contracted journeys it is quite common for two operators to share the route.

    2. Hmm. Previous all of those journeys were operated by First Kernow and had been for years. Even WG wouldn't have touched some of those routes.

    1. There is lots of errors on the PDF September timetable booklet and network map. Possibly rushed out at last min?

  3. interesting to see the TFC are using Best Impressions maps. Wonder if there's going to be more BI work for Go South West, a new livery would be nice

    1. Seems to me that TfC and GCB using the same brand was a big error given that TfC is a partnership between the council and ALL bus operators, plus GWR. A new livery would be ideal, but I think its gone too far for that and there are in any case other priorities.

    2. Who even are they? They seem to be having some identity crisis! Plymouth Citybus, Go Cornwall Bus, Transport for Cornwall or Go South West. All buses have different names on. Which one is it? Or are they just as lost as we are!

    3. Spot on Anon 22:59. It's been like this for nearly 10 years though now, remember all the "Flash" routes that were rolled out with the aim of making the PCB name obsolete. Then we've had "Go Cornwall Bus" using the exact same livery and style as PCB the management don't have a clue! We need Andrew Wickham to come down from Go South Coast and sort this mess out.

    4. Within the TfC partnership the operators ‘share out’ the joint production tasks.
      GSW produce roadside then they share putting it up
      The bus station boards are produced in house by FSW
      The book is commissioned by GSW - distributed west by FSW, East by GSW
      The map artwork (print email electronic) is commissioned by FSW from Best Impressions.

    5. it's a very good point. the parent company is supposed to be Plymouth Citybus trading as Go South West Ltd however none of the buses say GSW at all. it's all Plymouth Citybus. GCB is a part of GSW not Plymouth Citybus and TFC is not a part of Plymouth Citybus. It's a collaboration between multiple companies and Cornwall Council, so really nothing makes sense anywhere.

  4. What’s happening with Plymouth services 19 & 31? Cancellations effective from this weekend but no sign of being reregistered? Are they remaining with Stagecoach? Or moving operator?

    1. It seems they are staying with Stagecoach. The registrations are taking ages to come through the usual channels these days. Im not sure if the timetables themselves are changing much, if at all. I have found a lot more 'new' timetables than there are registered changes for and many not mentioned by the operators themselves which is also confusing. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to update some of these at least

    2. New Plymouth contracts do not start until 1 Nov now, should answer a few queries. Operators & any revisions not yet announced.

  5. It's actually really simple. Anon 10:41 - there is no Go South West Ltd. Plymouth Citybus Ltd is the trading company and operator licence holder, and it trades as Plymouth Citybus in Plymouth and as Go Cornwall Bus in Cornwall (albeit with a bit of overlap where services cross the border). Go South West is just a brand name / marketing name used by Go-Ahead to refer to both of those identities mainly for internal and wider industry reasons but it has no legal basis and there's no real reason to put that name on any of the buses, so they don't. Yes, it might make logical sense at some point to rename Plymouth Citybus Ltd and just keep "Plymouth Citybus" as a trading name (much like First did when First Devon & Cornwall Ltd pulled out of Devon and took on much of Somerset) but it wouldn't really achieve anything practical other than tidy things up a bit. In the 70s, The Western National Omnibus Company Ltd traded as Western National, Devon General and Royal Blue and no-one had a problem with that. Go South Coast Ltd has half a dozen different brands / trading names all on the one licence and no-one has a problem with that either. Transport for Cornwall is just Cornwall County Council's marketing brand to help publicise bus and trains etc in the county, so information can be found quickly and easily, irrespective of the actual operator.

  6. Service change, route change - or perhaps change of use! One of Plymotuh CityBus's old darts left the depot in a different direction, it's route in life took it a couple of miles to a local school instead of hundreds to the scrap yard. 69 is now a dedicated music classroom.
