Devon & Cornwall Transit 2023 Week Ending 3 March 2023

The 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. The First weekend of April gets even busier with lots more registration changes coming through over the last week. Over 140 so far for the weekend! There are more still to come through as well. We have yet to see anything for the Plymouth Citybus in Plymouth so either these are coming through later, or we are being spared this time round…
