  1. New service 30/31 Plymouth city centre to Plymouth city centre via Mannamead and Peverell starting end of October from Stagecoach. Possibly a reinstatement of the old subsidised 31 and 39 combined perhaps?

    1. What's the exact route of the 30/31??

      Delete
    2. Absolutely no idea... sorry. I am guessing a circular combination of ex 31 and 39 routes perhaps not including Hartley Vale or Pennycross parts. 30 one way, 31 the other but could be totally wrong!

    3. no need to be sorry :) - interesting... i live in the Ham / Pennycross area so even the thought of a new bus service is exciting.

      will be interesting to see what frequency the service is, as well as what vehicles they use (probs gonna be their newer Solos / E200s I'd assume?)

      Delete
    4. I heard a rumour from a relative that the 60/61 may potentially be extended back to Derriford - is there any possibility / further knowledge of this?

      Delete
  2. Services 30/31 are a mix of old 31 and 39 covering Mannamead Ashford Crescent Kneele Gardens Hartley Vale parts of old 39 then from Hartley Vale via Morrisons to pick up old 31 route from Peverell Park Road via Fird Park and Mutley to city. 30 anticlockwise 31 clockwise
