Just a reminder that, as per usual, we will be running a Sunday service on both Public Holidays in June. The dates in question are as follows:

Monday 4th June 2012
Tuesday 5th June 2012 (Diamond Jubilee)

Please refer to individual timetables for details of Sunday services.

Both our Passenger Information Team helpline (01637 871 871) and our Travel Shop in Newquay will be open from 0700-1900 on both Public Holidays.

Please note that, from 27th May 2012, new timetables will be introduced across some of our routes. Most changes reflect the busier Summer Season where services are enhanced. Other changes are the result of passenger requests, increased demand or - in some cases - reduced passenger demand. Unless shown below, timetables not listed remain the same. All timetables are available to download from our website now, and will be available in handy pocket-size leaflets across our outlets shortly.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this change to our services, which are the result of scheduled road closures beyond our control.

Please note that, this year the annual Royal Cornwall Show is taking place at Whitecross, near Wadebridge, on the 7th, 8th and 9th of June. Buses on the 510, the 555 and the 594 (which pass by the site) may be subject to significant delays during the opening and closing hours each show day. In addition, buses across our network are likely to be affected, where vehicles are caught up in traffic and are unable to undertake journeys on services well outside the Wadebridge area. We would advise passengers to allow additional time when making journeys during these three days, especially when they are looking to make connections.

Please note that, due to resurfacing works from 8th to 12th May, the 556 will be unable to serve Treburrick and Old Macdonalds Farm between 0730 and 1800.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this change to our services, which are the result of scheduled road closures beyond our control.

Please note that, due to a road closure to facilitate the May Day Fayre in Looe on 5th May 2012, buses on the 572 and the 573 will be subject to disruption from 0900 to 1500.

During this time, buses on the 572 will terminate at East Looe, opposite the surgery.

Buses on the 573, to and from Polperro, will journey to and from East Looe over the bridge, missing out West Looe Fire Station, and all stops out to Hannafore Point.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this change to our services, which are the result of scheduled road closures beyond our control.

Please note that, as a result of the Cape to Cape Car Tour on Sunday 29th April 2012, there will be changes to departure points in Truro between 0930 and 1330.

Journeys usually departing from Victoria Square will be affected during this time. The stop at Victoria Square (along with the stop at the Britannia Inn and Ferris Town) WILL NOT BE SERVED.

The following buses will instead depart from the stop outside the NCP multi-storey car park on St Clements Street:

the 583 - at 1055 and 1255
the 587 - at 0945, 1045, 1145 and 1245

Journeys usually departing from Boscawen Street will also be affected during this time. The stop at Boscawen Street WILL NOT BE SERVED.

The following buses will instead depart from the shelter opposite the NCP multi-storey car park on St Clements Street:

the 520 - at 1125 and 1325
the 550 - at 1025 and 1225
the 597 - at 1015, 1115, 1215 and 1315

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this change to our services, which are the result of scheduled road closures beyond our control.

It is with regret that we have to increase most bus fares from Sunday 8th April 2012. Sadly, this is the result of a number of factors outside our control.

On 1st April 2012, the amount of money we receive from Cornwall Council for carrying Concessionary Pass passengers was reduced by over a third.

On the very same day, the tax that we pay on our fuel was increased by 58%. Needless to say that these factors, in conjunction with the continued increasing cost of fuel, have had a huge impact on our business. It genuinely saddens us to have to pass these costs on to fare-paying passengers.

However, there is some good news. We are now able to show our gratitude to regular passengers for their support of our services, by offering Weekly Tickets across the entire network, including wherever through-fares exist. We have also been able to freeze the price of our Day Explorer Tickets.

Once again, we apologise for this necessary change to fares, and thank you for your understanding.

Please note that we will be running the following services over the Easter Period:

5th April - Thursday - normal service
6th April - Good Friday - Sunday service
7th April – Saturday - normal Saturday service
8th April - Easter Sunday - Sunday service
9th April - Easter Monday - Sunday service
10th April - Tuesday - normal service resumes

May we take this opportunity to wish all our a passengers a Happy Easter and a restful and relaxing holiday period.

Please note that both our Passenger Information Line (01637 871 871) and our Travelshop in Newquay Bus Station will be open at the following times over the Easter Weekend:

Good Friday 6th April - 0930 to 1730
Saturday 7th April - 0700 to 1900
Easter Sunday 8th April - 0930 to 1730
Easter Monday 9th April - 0930 to 1730

May we take this opportunity to wish all our passengers a very Happy Easter Weekend.
