It certainly cuts down my options but to be fair the whole section of route is quite over provided for so it makes a lot of sense for Citybus. Passengers will notice the difference though especially when the traffic builds up. I will have to wait and see the full timetable to see how much I loose out!<br />didbygrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858408719372985035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-668607191294292652020-01-10T22:03:21.669+00:002020-01-10T22:03:21.669+00:00The 42 is going to take over.

The people who have worked for the company past have been absolutely amazing and to see the heights Target achieved in years gone by has been brilliant. Since then the company has been on a horrible downfall over the in which I think recovery from is near impossible, this is already relected in the loss of over 15 tenders in and around Plymouth.Jake Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700132738213204594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-77049024165557661262020-01-04T19:57:26.103+00:002020-01-04T19:57:26.103+00:00Can't see how Target are going to get out of t...Can't see how Target are going to get out of this one.
