Devon & Cornwall Transit 2023 Week 8

The weekly look back on what has been published on the Registered Local Bus Services site over the last week. As always click through for more details including timetables and maps.

New Notices from this week

As expected we are now starting to see the registrations coming in for April. We start off with a large batch for OTS and Go Cornwall all from the first weekend in April. As usual it will be a while before full details and timetables start to appear. I suspect there will be plenty more to follow for Cornwall and I wouldn't be surprised if the same weekend see's plenty of changes in Devon too. Stagecoach at least have some coming up!

This Coming Week

Dartline

I assume this is a small change for Dartline service 343 as they dont seem interested to telling passengers when services change, with just a link to Traveline via their web site. Hopefully as GSW take control they will soon be brought up to the same standards as the rest of the GSW operations, which may not be perfect but is a lot better than nothing at all!

Pressure is increasing on Plymouth’s Tory administration to protect bus services in the city. Labour councillor for Drake ward, Charlotte Holloway, has written to leader Richard Bingley and the cabinet member for transport, Jonathan Drean, pleading with them to reconsider the decision to cut the number 31 route.  It comes as Independent Alliance leader and councillor for Compton, Nick Kelly, also wrote to Cllr Drean urging him to rethink a decision remove the Saturday service of the number 27 Citybus service.
