Devon & Cornwall Transit 2022 Week 37

The weekly look back on what has been published on the Registered Local Bus Services site over the last week. As always click through for more details including timetables and maps.

Lots again this last week with most of these still being from the first week of September, which seem to be taking a long time to filter through

• DJ Watts (Torbay Buses) a new timetable for local service 25 from this weekend. New timetable is on the page. No idea what has changed as neither Torbay Council or the operator bother to detail their services at all
• Plymouth Citybus – quite a few late changes to timetables from 4th September.
• Dealtop (Dartline) This is an odd one in that they appear to be cancelling service 373 which I didn't get through as a new service in the first place. Traveline show timetables as being joint with Stagecoach so it does appear the service is continuing from 30 October
• Summercourt (Travel Cornwall) Another service changed back from 4 September
• AVMT changes to the 897 and 899, again from 4th September. These new timetables have yet to appear on Traveline
• Stagecoach. New timetables for X38, again from 4 September

The roll out of service registration updates from the Vehicle Operator Licensing service for the early September changes has been really protracted which is a real pain. Some of these seem to be late changes but its clear that a lot of them are just taking ages to trickle through on their web site feed. Hopefully most of these will be through now and things will settle down a bit…

This Week

The only new timetable from this week is Torbay Buses 25 as detailed above

Devon & Cornwall Transit 2022: Week 21

The weekly look back on what has been published on the Registered Local Bus Services site over the last week. As always click through for more details including timetables and maps.

Bit of an odd bag this week as there seems to be nothing of any substance:

• Taw & Torridge looks like an admin issue more than anything as the new timetable came into place on the 29th May – the new notices presumably just tidy up the old PH0004727/21 licence into PH0004721/22.
• Filers Travel 309 310 – Must be a correction to the new timetable introduced 29th May
• Stagecoach: New timetables backdated to 8th May – there was no mention of any changes to these services at the time by Stagecoach so they cant be anything major!
