ReplyDeleteWhere First Kernow goes PCB follows...
DeleteTo be fair FK we're by no means the first to do this!
DeleteLets hope that statement dosent ring true with there fare structure. £15 for a day ticket id be sawing off a leg to get a enct pass
DeleteIf you’re a local you wouldn’t buy a day ticket. You’d bit a bundle of 5 or 20 days that are £6 or £5 a day.
DeleteIf you were a local you wouldn’t buy a day ticket. You’d buy a bundle of 5 or 20 one day passes that work out at £6 or £5 respectively.
DeleteInteresting that FK and PCB both agreed on £18 for Ride Cornwall
First were a lot cheaper I Plymouth than PCB and to be fair Stagecoach are still cheaper now.
DeleteHave reaď on devon and cornwall rail partnership that gwr/xc are introducing a cornwall rider ticket for those who want to just use trains but dont want to pay £18 for a ride cornwall costs £12.50 for adults £8.25 for rail cards and £6.25 for kids
DeleteSaw the back end of 504 in the sheds today. Looks to be an all over white design with Royal Navy logos and wording so it doesn’t appear to be for Pride after all.
DeleteDoes anyone know what year Wallace Arnold closed it's Plymouth depot?
