Service Notice Summary

My usual source for route licensing data is currently down, at least the CSV export I depend on to save time. It’s under investigation, and they hope to have it working again soon — if not, I’ll clearly need to come up with a revised plan!  

In the meantime, here’s a quick summary of new notices so you can see what’s going on. None of these will appear on my route pages yet due to the CSV issue and also because I haven’t been well in the extreme heat. Thankfully, it’s fairly quiet at the moment!

Night buses are set to be available in two parts of the South West this summer.

Devon and Cornwall Police said following a successful trial in Barnstaple in December 2023, it has worked with partners to introduce night buses there, and in Newquay. The bus services, provided by Stagecoach in north Devon and First Bus in Newquay are set to operate on Saturdays from 6 July to 7 September. It added the new services, which cost £2 a journey, were in bid to reduce "drink and drug-related incidents".
