07:46 Good Morning. All services are operating normally with just the same few places we still cannot serve due to ice. Forecast is for strong easterly winds today so please wrap up warmly and take great care on the untreated pavements
10:31 The 22 can at last serve Amados Drive but will not continue to the Ridgeway
11:27 Sorry but having inspected the area, Culver Way and Charfield Drive will be out of bounds to us until further notice. Safety comes first as I'm sure you will agree. Some better news is that we can now reach Amados Drive in Merafield although the 22 will terminate there as the route onward to the Ridgeway is still unsafe. The bus will wait at Amados Drive for the return journey to the City
11:36 Plymouth Citybus The NOTES page has been updated with all available information. Keswick Crescent, Deer Park and Sheridan Road are all now open to us.

Tavistock Bus Station - in the sunshine!

Talk about a blast from the past..this was my era when I was driving at Tavistock Depot, and remember 1080 amongst others, and Tavistock Bus Station, in its old layout, very well.
ReplyDeleteI loved riding on these Bristol VR's between Plymouth and Tavistock each seemed to make different sounds too. The old bus station was certainly better for photography wasn't it.
