Following the publication of the new timetables for Go Cornwall services that will replace First Bus routes from 15 February, another story has been posted on the Transport for Cornwall website with a new narrative about the changes.
There is not a lot more information in the latest post than I was able to glean before and which I analysed on this website at GCB vs. First analysis. However, it does confirm certain issues such as the withdrawal of the GCB 5/5A service between Penzance and Paul with that route being incorporated into the new GCB 1/1A service. It says that the GCB 28 service to Eden on Sundays is being withdrawn to be replaced by a 24A service, although the timetable published last week showed this route being covered by the GCB 29 service rather than 24A. The timetables now live on Traveline South West show this service being covered by GCB 29.
Other changes are being made to some GCB services that are not directly caused by the withdrawal of First Bus services but will also happen on 15 February. These include:
GCB 6S Mousehole to Humphry Davy School: this is a renumbering of what was no. 9
GCB 15 Penzance to Hayle: "The route and timetable of this service have been substantially revised to improve performance and reliability. The service will no longer run to Hayle Retail Park due to the congestion encountered at Loggans Moor. The Retail Park will continue to be served by St Ives Bus Co Service 11. Route and timetable around Hayle has been revised and between St Erth and Marazion”
GCB 36A Truro to Penryn: "Revised route via Green Lane and Truro Railway Station in and out of Truro.”
GCB 36B Helston to St Keverne: this route was numbered 33 but now that GCB is introducing a new 33 from Falmouth to Redruth, this route is being changed to 36B.
GCB 57 Bodmin to Padstow: "Minor time changes to the 0740 from Liskeard on Saturday and school holiday.”
GCB 78/78A Liskeard to Launceston: "Service extended to serve Liskeard Rail Station.”
GCB 92/92A Newquay to St Columb Major: "Revised timetable so most journeys follow the same route as service 92 throughout the day.”
GCB 95 Bude to Wadebridge: "Re-time departures from Bude 5 minutes earlier to improve connections with service 57 at Wadebridge. Sunday service reintroduced from Easter.”
GCB 96 Camelford to Wadebridge: "Selected journeys extended to Wadebridge Tesco (Mon–Fri).”
GCB 493 Truro to Feock: "Revised timetable for afternoon journeys”
GCB 484/485 Truro city service: "Revised route and timetable to improve punctuality.”
GCB 486 Truro city service: "Service withdrawn and replaced by 484/485 and 496”
GCB 496 Truro to Malpas: "Revised route and timetable to provide links to Truro Health Centre and Truro Railway station”
I will publish the relevant new timetables as soon as possible.
Note that the TfC website says, "These changes form part of Transport for Cornwall’s ongoing work to balance reliability, demand and available resources while continuing to support communities across Cornwall.”
Update
16 January 2026
Go Cornwall Bus has updated the News item on the TfC website to show that the GCB14 and GCB18 will also supersede the GCB41 service between Camborne and Truro that has been running in competition with the First T1 and T2 since 1 September 2025.
The News item still shows GCB28 on Sundays to Eden being replaced by 24A although the timetables show the replacement as being no. 29 (also confirmed in an email from GCB to me).
There is also confusion over the GCB486 service where the news items says that it is being withdrawn but Traveline timetables for post 15 February show it still running. However, again in an email from GCB to me, they confirm that it is ceasing.
