As usual you can click through on the licence numbers above to get more information including the route histories, and the latest timetables although there are a few timetables still outstanding on Traveline, including most of the Callywith services from Go Cornwall. As of yesterday the Go Cornwall web site was also still linking to old outdates pdfs for these services although the ‘live’ timetables seemed to be correct. I must admit I prefer the pdf files as for longer routes the web site timetables are harder to follow.

I am sure there are a few others also changing this weekend but these have yet to appear in my daily download. In terms of letting people know what the changes are, then top marks have to go to Stagecoach who have done a really good job in describing what the changes involve. It would be nice to have a bit more detail like this from Go Cornwall/ First Kernow/ Travel Cornwall.

  1. Very poor effort from First. The Lands End Coaster and Atlantic are running the mid-season timetables, not low season and as for the "minor" changes on the 17/17A - instead of the previous hourly service St Just now gets a very erratic service with one bus every 50 - 130 minutes. If this is a minor change I'd like to know what they consider to be a major change!

    First seem to simply not care anymore.

    1. Welcome to the new First management. Turning around all the progress that's been made over the last 10 years and taking it back to the barbie era but it's only because there is a nice shiny grey and blue livery on the way!

    1. from what i have seen elsewhere, the falcon is the only bit of the megabus network staying with stagecoach, happy to be correct though if this is wrong information

    2. Driver thought contract up for grabs in 2025 with newer coaches required?

    3. It will carry on as is, run by Megabus whom are owned by Scottish Citylink *who are part owned by Stagecoach *

  3. All the Stagecoach Megabus coaches are sitting in Rugby and Northampton depots now. There's a rumour Stagecoach Midlands are starting an hourly service from Northampton to London with these coaches

  4. The Falcon started as a jumped up bus service which provided local links within Devon and Somerset as well as serving Bristol Airport and Bristol city centre. It does not sit easily with Megabus (which seems to be in decline) and should be brought back under local control by Stagecoach SW.

  5. Falcon is a Stagecoach service, not a Megabus service, although it is advertised on the Megabus website and can be booked there. It's a bit like an airline codeshare.

    1. In other words, a real muddle. Stagecoach 'school-bus yellow' with Megabus vinyl stuck on in a really amateurish way. No Stagecoach or Falcon fleetname displayed. What a come-down from the original, eye catching livery.

  6. Picking up the theme of things done well, and not so well, top marks to CityBus for the 25P "Shark and Ride" service this weekend for Seafest, well advertised at each bus stop. And it was free, and popular too.
    Not so good was whilst the Sunday service on the regular 25 was half hourly during the summer school holiday period, none of the bus stop timetables were updated.
    You win some, you lose some!

  7. I don’t use the stage coach falcon or mega bus, hate the seat reservation and in the summer air conditioning does not work absolutely boiling and now it does not stop at sowton park and ride in Exeter so I use the train bit more expensive but goes all the places I want more comfortable and air conditioning too
