Plymouth Citybus in their usual fashion have given plenty of notice of forthcoming changes to their 34 service. The new timetable introduced on the 19th April 2009 is now available as a PDF here. Changes highlighted as: Monday to Fridays there is to be an additional Service 34 06:53 from Devonport to arrive at Derriford Hospital 07:15. There are also a number of other changes to the Service 34 both in the A.M & P.M peaks in order to boost capacity following changes to First Devon & Cornwall Services 17 & 18. On Saturdays there is to be an additional 06:34 Service from Milehouse to Derriford Hospital. There are also changes to the 07:10, 07:45, & 08:15 Service 34 from Royal Parade. These changes are to improve reliability in line with the changes made to the Monday to Friday timetable They also give advance warning of possible future changes: It is highly likely that due to ongoing parking issues in Duke Street that the Service 34 from June 2009 remaining morning services along with all evening and Sunday Services will be withdrawn from Mutton Cove.

Breakdown

If you are going to experience a breakdown then Derriford Hospital is probably a good place to have it. Unless you are a bus. In this case its not a good idea. At least this one chose to let go on a Saturday lunchtime. If this had been a weekday then this scene would be one of utter chaos!
