Looking back and forwards

This past week brought quite a few new notices, but most were about changes from back in November- one even dating as far back as September last year. Only two were for changes made in 2026, which, unfortunately, has become the norm lately.

As usual, you can click through for full details, including complete route histories and timetables.

Speaking of timetable changes, the Cornwall Buses website offers a useful analysis of the replacement services from Go Cornwall when First withdraws next month. It’s an interesting read from someone who really knows the services.

His conclusion:

In summary, the proposed Go Cornwall Bus timetables will essentially cover the routes that First is giving up. However, frequencies will be reduced in many cases. In particular, on the T1 section between Penzance and Camborne and the T2 section between St Ives and Camborne, the frequency on Monday to Saturday services will be reduced from half-hourly to hourly. On Sundays, many of the routes that currently have an hourly service will only have a 2-hourly service in future. Overall, there will be a reduction in the service levels.
