Perhaps the most interesting aspect (and most disappointing) is the almost total lack of publicity for these new timetables from the operators themselves.  These have already happened or are due this coming week so I would have hoped they would have been publicised by now.

The Nightbus from First Kernow does not seem to be mentioned anywhere at all which seems odd. The only thing I could find was a note on the Cornwall Buses site which also highlights the total lack of publicity by First. Their own web site looks very nice but is hardly local these days – If you click on News you get details of open tops in Weymouth and coaches between Reading and Heathrow. Stagecoach and Transport For Cornwall / Plymouth Citybus are usually quicker than this to publicise their service changes.

There are clearly a few these still to come through (the Torpoint 70’s for example) and there are a few odd ones where TFC say no planned changes but changes have been registered. Although no details have been given it does seem that Stagecoach are making changes to the 2 2A in Saltash with some Citybus runs being re-routed to fill in the gap.

As for Plymouth City services you will see from the comments on this site that there are a few changes coming up including the 60/61, 50/51 and 27/28s at least. Hopefully more details will be available shortly!
