Starting and finishing at Royal Parade should mean a more punctual service than the present 21/21A.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-77415704661434316572014-12-20T10:03:13.248+00:002014-12-20T10:03:13.248+00:00I am sure a lot of this down to the traffic in tow...I am sure a lot of this down to the traffic in town as we get close to Christmas. I use the other end - the 50 and find its generally running very well, but come the evening rush hour at Derriford then everything is running behind - including First! <br />If First are looking at more areas to compete with Citybus I would be surprised if they go for the 43 as the St Budeaux - Milehouse - City Centre section id the most heavily bussed corridor in Plymouth.didbygrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858408719372985035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-30312978974388728042014-12-19T22:08:23.381+00:002014-12-19T22:08:23.381+00:00With the way Citybus are performing on the 43 sinc...With the way Citybus are performing on the 43 since merged with the 50 i'm sure First could pick up some custom here.

They all leave together at the end of school and I always see them all heading in at the same time in the mornings too. Believe me though, this is required - they are always absolutely packed to the brim! I've never seen buses so busy - all seats taken with a load more kids all bunched together standing downstairs right up to pretty much next to the driver. They must make a fair bit of cash!Tomnoreply@blogger.com
