ReplyDeleteNew Plymouth Transport map available from Plymouth City Councils website provided by GSW
ReplyDeleteInterestingly the new map identifies the Main Bus Route Corridors, presumably this is a spin-off from the work done for the Bus Service Improvement Plan. These are:
Delete- George Park & Ride via North Hill & Derriford Hospital
- Plympton, The Ridgeway via Embankment Road
- Plymstock, Dean Hill via Pomphlett Road
- St Budeaux Square via Union Street, Devonport & Saltash Road
- Saltash, Fore Street via Alma Road, Wolseley Road, St Budeaux and Tamar Bridge
Surprisingly, Outland Road (from Milehouse to Manadon Roundabout) is also marked as a Main Bus Route Corridor despite the low number of buses that currently use it.
