There are some quite big changes here this time. What do people think?
History is repeating itself. This time 3 yrs ago they tried to cut Liskeard and Bodmin and soon had to put it back in again due to public outcry.
ReplyDeleteWill it be same again 3 years on ?
What an absolute mess! Whilst it's good to see First Bus going back to pre Kernow route numbers, the whole network is now a mess. On top of this you've got Go-Ahead doing their usual shuffling and messing about with routes. Why does the Bude to Plymouth via Launceston route need splitting up? It's worked perfectly well for years without it. No wonder passengers are getting confused. X8 / 76 / 576 / 76 / 12 and now back to a mix of all 3.
ReplyDeleteSome big changes, with notably, GCB taking routes off FB. Some quite confusing route changes around the 11/12/26/77 especially with Bodmin Parkway... Looks like FB really are pulling back on their commercial routes as GCB are commercialising their routes..
