SERVICE CHANGE -12th April 2015
Date: 20 Feb 2015
From 12th April 2015 a number of our services will be revised. Full lists of the revisions are listed below.
The bigger changes will be to Saltash and Plymstock services, re-deploying resource to allow both to benefit from an up to every 7 minute service on the main corridor, increased from the current 10 minute.
The changes will also the see the introduction of a new cross city route, linking the current 43 and 50. This will be service number 50. We currently have a £2m order for new buses for this route, which will be delivered in the summer.
To allow the above to happen we have had to renumber some services, which are also listed below.
