The most significant changes detailed above are the the 2 2A on which we see 37136 on a wet day a couple of years ago…
The changes to the 2/2A in Saltash on Sundays are interesting. It's not clear from the timetable, but it could mean that a bus serves Latchbrook and Burraton then goes via Church Road to serve St Stephens and Wearde. But then why is there no timing point for Wearde Eoad (S-bound)? We shall see .....
ReplyDeleteDoesn't a bus on a wet day look so miserable and cold with it steamed up windows, surely in this day and age they'd be something to keep the windows demisted
