Tinkering with the 42

Plymouth Citybus have made a change to the 42 service with new timetables already in place from this weekend just gone:
After reading through our passengers welcome feedback on the changes that we made to service 42 back in April, we are altering the timetable, adding an additional bus to the service to iron out punctuality problems. The 42 service offers an up to every 30 minute service between Tamerton Foliot, Derriford Hospital and the City Centre.
On the few occasions where crucial mistakes are made when new timetables and routes are implemented, it is always in the interests of both passengers and the company to adjust services, providing there would be no adverse effect on passenger numbers.
Full timetable HERE
It is the first few early morning runs which change with the rest of the days service continuing as before. Plymouth Citybus 023 R123OFJ
