VOSA Variations

Latest VOSA registrations for changes in April


Back on the 17th of February the following were posted on the VOSA web site:

This route is of course subject to competition with Western Greyhound so it will be interesting to see what changes are being made here!

Then on the 22nd February FDC put in another batch:

PH0004983/134 - FIRST DEVON & CORNWALL LTD, THE RIDE, CHELSON MEADOW, PLYMOUTH, PL9 7JT

This looks more like what happened with the X80 recently with the route being split into sections to get it under the EU regs limit. It is good to see that the Summer timetable promises 5 return trips.

We also have another registration change for the 82:
PH1017984/68 - ALANSWAY COACHES LTD T/A COUNTRY BUS, KING CHARLES BUSINESS PK, OLD NEWTON RD, HEATHFIELD, NEWTON ABBOT, TQ12 6UT Variation Accepted by SN: Operating between Moretonhampstead and Plymouth given service number 82 effective from 03-Apr-2010. To amend Timetable.

Due to a pedestrian accident on Milehouse Road the service 34 is being diverted via St Levan Road and Ford Hill some delays are likely for the next hour or so. No other routes are affected.
