They justify this decision by claiming that no-one uses it, which is totally untrue. <br /><br />As a user of the service I see people boarding and alighting in Pillmere regularly, there are certainly no less passengers using the service from Pillmere than there are from the neighbouring Latchbrook, yet Latchbrook is now to receive 4 buses an hour linking them to the city centre and Pillmere none??<br /><br />Why is it presumed that Pillmere residents would rather have a twice hourly service to Derriford and nothing to the city centre, with no service at all at weekends??<br /><br />Disgusted with Citybus!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-74830655575810031272013-03-11T13:04:04.315+00:002013-03-11T13:04:04.315+00:00So now the residents of Pillmere have lost a vital...So now the residents of Pillmere have lost a vital link to the city centre.

It's n...That certainly does seem like the plan. It's not a huge problem for me, as I at present use any of the 29/61/62 from Derriford to Transit Way every now and again, though it's not too bad as the new 30 will serve Transit Way. The thing I don't get is when this was proposed back in the Summer as part of the network changes, so many people complained about the 61/62 not serving Derriford, they kept it as it is. They (PCB), are fully aware this will not prove a popular move at all, infact quite the opposite, they know they'll get complaints, so I really do wonder why they've done it, knowing full well passengers will hate it. It seems to me to be a straight cost-cutting idea really.<br /><br />After a good study of the timetables, this is what I can work out:<br /><br />5/A remain as a 5/A throughout the week like they do at present.<br /><br />8/9 and 23/24 will be merged during the week. Not sure about Sundays.<br /><br />16 appears to still be merged with the 35, and 16/35/50 on Sundays.<br /><br />20 seems to remain as a 20 during the day, possibly the 1850 from town one doing the evening 2020 onwards 42s? Sunday services upon reaching town may change to the 29, then 34? The 34 reaching town on Sunday at present changes to the 42A, then 42, then back to a <br /><br />20, though the 42/A remain as a 42/A throughout the day on Sunday so I’m not sure. <br /><br />25 remains as a 25 during the day like it does at present.<br /><br />27/28 will still change into the other one at Derriford. Not sure about Sundays (see board 304/5 above)<br /><br />29 and 34 still merged with slightly shorter layovers at Derriford. Again, not sure about Sundays. <br /><br />30 changes with the new 42Ds (now renumbered 42)<br /><br />33/A changes with the 43A. <br /><br />Short 34s to the Royal William Yard remain as a 34 during the day.<br /><br />40/41 still change into the other one in town during the week & Saturday, not sure about Sunday as the 41 changed with the 42/A/45 at present on a Sunday (see above & link to board number 407)<br /><br />42/A change with eachother throughout the day.<br /><br />43 remains as a 43. Sundays not sure. (See board 206 above)<br /><br />43B - Not so sure, unless it remains as a 43B throughout the day with a 16 minute layover! Sundays not sure. (See board 206 above).<br /><br />44/A - Change with eachother throughout the day. Remains as a 44 on Sunday.<br /><br />45 - Again, not sure on this. It leaves town and arrives in town pretty much at the same time as the 43B so can't be merged with that. Sundays it remains as a 45 during the day as opposed to the current changes with the 41/42/42A (see board 407 above)<br /><br />50 - Remains as a 50 throughout the day, with shorter layovers at Derriford. (3 mins opposed to the current 5). Changes with the 16 and 35 like it does at present on a Sunday.<br />61/A – Change with eachother throughout the week and Sundays.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-47718723784450762852013-03-08T23:47:42.967+00:002013-03-08T23:47:42.967+00:00It seems like they are now expecting passengers wh...It seems like they are now expecting passengers whom travel on Service 61/61A to now travel onwards to Derriford on services 29 or 30. Giving what I imagine, will be a simple 15 minute apart departure from Transit Way to Derriford.<br /><br />It does, however, seem very interesting that they are putting more services into Transit Way given that the odd bit of congestion renders the complex completely without service!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-80853163019899679222013-03-08T22:54:44.728+00:002013-03-08T22:54:44.728+00:00What section anon? 46? 1.5 people a day?What section anon? 46? 1.5 people a day?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-45296531817878537332013-03-08T21:55:19.302+00:002013-03-08T21:55:19.302+00:00from speaking with the md,it costs 120,000 to run ...from speaking with the md,it costs 120,000 to run that section.
