Devon & Cornwall Transit 2021: Week 28

It is time for the usual weekly look back on what has been published on the Registered Local Bus Services site over the last week.

After a the previous bumper crop of backdated Stagecoach notices, its gone quiet again with no new notices published last week.

Looking ahead though are a few seasonal operations starting this week:

Monday is being ill-advisedly described as “Freedom Day” and all restrictions are being lifted despite the rises in cases and even the PM himself now entering self isolation having been pinged by the NHS App bus operators are in the awkward position of having to request passengers still use masks with the knowledge they can do nothing about passengers who wont. Sadly this appalling (but not unexpected) lack of leadership will lead to more people getting affected and more people getting pinged and being told to self isolate which will almost certainly include essential staff, like bus drivers. There are still many vulnerable people who are at extreme risk of this infection so please be careful out there and please follow the companies advice. Please also make sure you follow the bus operators on twitter if you are thinking of travelling. Some of them are pretty good at warning when services are not running – especially as staff shortages continue to cause operators problems.

  1. Why have there been single deckers operating Plymouth citybus school service 104 recently?

    1. presumably either vehicle availability, or more likely, DDs are not needed at the moment.

    2. At present only years 7 and 8 are in school at Devonport school for boys and I think similar at the girls school. Also majority of kids from Tavistock, Yelverton areas use Stagecoach X1 which follows similar route as bud pass on x1 can be used at other times on the 1 from Tavistock to Plymouth
