Service Changes Archive: November 2024

With service changes taking ages to come through the normal channels at the moment I am using other sources alongside the Gov uk site and N&P. As usual you can click through on the licence numbers to the route pages where the full route history with maps and timetables where available. The list is sorted by month (Latest month on top!) and then in route number order within each month. 

This page will show all route changes for November 2024 and will be updated as and when I get any updates.

PH1020951.236 2P (2, 2A) Saltash Mount Batten 04-Nov-2024 Following a comprehensive review of Service 2/2A, there will be a number of changes to the route and timetable of Service 2 within Saltash.
All daytime journeys will operate an extended loop within Saltash, serving both Latchbrook and then St Stephens (as per currently on Sunday and Public Holiday daytime), whereas evening journeys will continue to just serve St Stephens. Within Saltash, all sections of route will benefit from a frequency of up to every 15 minutes, which in some cases is double the current frequency of every 30 minutes.
Between the City Centre and Saltash an improved and co-ordinated frequency of up to every 15 minutes will operate. Daytimes, buses will operate every 15 minutes Monday to Friday, every 20 minutes on Saturdays and every 30 minutes on Sunday and Public Holiday. The revised frequency will provide an additional journey opportunity every hour between Mount Batten and the City Centre. There are no changes to the daily evening timetable, however, the section of route between Mount Batten and the City Centre will be operated with financial support from Plymouth City Council.
Passengers are advised to check the new timetable before travelling, especially if travelling early in the morning, where a number of journeys are revised.
 
Service 2A (Saltash to City Centre)
Service 2A will be withdrawn from 3 November 2024, however, changes to Service 2 will provide an improved service for passengers who currently use Service 2/2A.

PH1020951.038 4 Pennsylvania North Park Road Cranbrook 04-Nov-2024 The new Service 4, introduced on 1 September 2024 extending to the University of Exeter, has proved very popular, however, we are aware that a number of buses at peak times Monday to Friday are often running late due to traffic volumes.
In order to offer a reliable and punctual service there will be some changes to the timetable, especially at peak times Monday to Friday, with additional vehicle resource allocated to allow buses more time to complete their journeys and ensure they can start their next journey on time.
