Cutbacks: 10 and 226

Continuing our look at the re-tendered services after the cutbacks on the 5th July 2009 Service 10 City Centre - Derriford   View Plymouth Bus Services: 10 in a larger map Quite a big change for the 10 which is going to be unpopular for some users I feel. The main service 10 remains with Target Travel but is severely cut back to 4 runs in the morning peak and 3 runs in the afternoon peak. It also looses the Saturday service completely. During the day there is a partial replacement in the form of Taxifast's Taxi-bus service 224 detailed below. Service 226 Estover - Whitleigh   View Plymouth Bus Services:226 in a larger map This is a brand new Taxibus service to be operated by TaxiFast. It is supposed to be a partial replacement for the off peak service 10 and part of service 44B. I will keep my thoughts on Taxi-buses in general for another post in the near future but I can see this being an unpopular move. It does open up a few new links though. I have a friend who now has a direct day time connection to Asda which she can see being very useful. However, with only 7 seats available an hour she only hopes that no one else on her estate notices!
