Odds and Ends from a quiet week

It’s been pretty quiet on the service registration front, with only a few changes coming through over the past week. We’ve got the seasonal service 171 from Country Bus starting in July, Stagecoach running a one-day Park & Ride shuttle at Lynmouth, and Hatch Green updating the timetable for the 382 as of last week. Lastly, there’s a cancellation from First South West, which is likely just an admin update, as I’m fairly sure it stopped back in February along with the others.
