Perhaps the most interesting aspect (and most disappointing) is the almost total lack of publicity for these new timetables from the operators themselves.  These have already happened or are due this coming week so I would have hoped they would have been publicised by now.

The Nightbus from First Kernow does not seem to be mentioned anywhere at all which seems odd. The only thing I could find was a note on the Cornwall Buses site which also highlights the total lack of publicity by First. Their own web site looks very nice but is hardly local these days – If you click on News you get details of open tops in Weymouth and coaches between Reading and Heathrow. Stagecoach and Transport For Cornwall / Plymouth Citybus are usually quicker than this to publicise their service changes.

  1. Three days to go and still absolutely no mention by First about the N1.

    Not a great look when they're pleading poverty to their staff.
