Its hard to find any information on these changes from First as they dont seem worthy of any mention on their own web site which seems more keen to tell you about its Reading coach service than anything to do with Cornwall. There are no planned timetable changes apparently. There has been a Facebook post saying

Starting from July 14th, our bus timetables in Cornwall will have a summer uplift to help you enjoy the season more efficiently.Check out the updated schedules here and plan your summer trips with ease: https://www.firstbus.co.uk/.../TFC%20July%2024%20Web%202.pdf

The link goes to the new Transport for Cornwall Bus Times which starts from 24th July and also makes no mention of service 895.

They really dont seem that interested in Cornwall anymore which is a shame.
