While Plymouth Live have been reporting “Major Plymouth Bus Timetable changes” this weekend which is rather over selling things as most routes dont change at all, we do now have a few more services being run by Stagecoach this week.
Mark Bailey was out and about catching some of them on camera:
31720 on the 14
37139 on the 27
48017 on the 13
All © Mark Bailey – with thanks.
There was an open top bus popping through Derriford a couple of times today, I presume on the 1A (or the 52?)
A look back at the last weeks worth of notices that have come through.
Its been a lot busier recently as we start to see a lot of April changes coming through. The weekend of 20th April is going to see quite a lot of new timetables!
