Don't fancy doing Plymouth to Barnstaple along the twisting and undulating A386 on this bus - a journey that is bad enough in a car. Nice to see some of the old Plymouth Darts hard at work though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-64217248687335698742013-06-13T11:35:28.467+01:002013-06-13T11:35:28.467+01:00Not really sure why First use such awful buses!

Why do we always get the rough end of the deal in this part of the world?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-14953062794568696012013-06-12T18:40:36.920+01:002013-06-12T18:40:36.920+01:00Think of how much dead mileage is included in the ...Think of how much dead mileage is included in the Tesco Free Buses Citybus operate! Obviously they're funded by Tesco though it must cost Tesco a fortune! Take the TLM2 to West Alvington, that runs back dead to Milehouse, as do the Kingsbridge, Totnes, Newton Ferrers and Tavistock ones.<br /><br />The 127 and 128 school services to Tavistock in the afternoon now run back dead too - huge waste of fuel if you ask me, as are various other school workings though I'm going off topic now!Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-40147146590886170002013-06-12T18:32:31.082+01:002013-06-12T18:32:31.082+01:00Yep, Jackett's X85 certainly got people compla...Yep, Jackett's X85 certainly got people complaining when Citybus had to explain they don't service Tavistock ("I just saw your bus go past..."). It'll be even worse when they try to use their Citybus tickets to get to Bovisand this year.Plymothianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248948976442668300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-69856862191960612922013-06-12T09:14:24.871+01:002013-06-12T09:14:24.871+01:00Plymouth to Penzance on that would be a bit of a s...Plymouth to Penzance on that would be a bit of a slog ;-)Padbusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-32782709778804126912013-06-12T07:19:57.459+01:002013-06-12T07:19:57.459+01:00The ex Citybus 119 is certainly racking up the mil...The ex Citybus 119 is certainly racking up the mileage; two weeks ago I saw it on the A39 leaving Bude for Hartland and again yesterday on the 87 in Tavistock. The dead mileage this company (and Beacon Bus) run and the cost must be huge. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
