Dont tell anyone, but First have a new nightbus ...

Starting this weekend, the service will operate every Saturday night until 6 September 2025. Provided by First Bus, the night bus runs a circular route from Newquay’s main bus station, serving Henver Road, Newquay Holiday Park, St Columb Major, Indian Queens, St Columb Road and Quintrell Downs.

The initiative is supported by the Police and Crime Commissioner and Devon and Cornwall Police, and was introduced to help reduce drink driving and anti-social behaviour. Last summer’s trial saw 659 passengers use the service between July and early September, with police reporting fewer offences and CCTV operators observing that town centres cleared more quickly after closing time.

so a good news story that First would be proudly shouting about…

So a look on their home page reveals nothing at all. If you know where to look you might find the hamburger icon top right which leads to a menu including a News and Service Updates page.

OK so Nothing there

So Planned Changes? – thats just news of student services changes October 2024

What about News?

Nothing Cornwall related at all

Current Issues?  Nope nothing there either.

If you dig deep enough you will eventually find the timetables page (why not just have a link to the timetables page from the home page as that's what most people are looking for?

And you will eventually find an awful generated pdf page for the N1.

There is though a much better timetable here: https://members.neighbourhoodalert.co.uk/AlertMessage/Attachment/764AE767B130CC8B41FC1F363D45A9A8

Now that's more like it! Nice simple easy to understand.

So why do First make it so hard to find it? At the very least how difficult would it be to have this as a link from their home page?

Apologies for the lack of the usual service changes promised this week . I was having technical issues with Microsoft Onedrive where none of my sharing links worked for me. It seems to have sorted itself out now so there will be a full update this weekend.
