Penzance services diverted because of roadworks in town centre
22 September 2025

Go Cornwall Bus has posted information on the Updates page of the Transport for Cornwall website about diversions of bus services because of major roadworks in Market Jew Street, Penzance, and the impact on timetables:
"Due to a road closure, buses are unable to serve Market Jew Street, Green Market, Station Road, & Chyandour Cliff. Services on 2, 2A, 8 15, 39A & T1E will divert from Penzance Bus Station via Battery road, The Promanade, Alexandra Road towards A30 & Polmeere Road into Jelbert Way in both directions. Services on 16 & 16A will serve Sainsburys to then continue towards Polnsandane Care Home in both directions. Services on 8, 16, 16A 39A & 17E will divert after Alexandra Road towards Penalverne drive in both directions and will not serve Clarence Street.
Services on 5 will divert towards Alexandra Road and then continue towards Alverton in both directions.
Services on 5A will divert towards Alexandra Road and then towards Wherry Town.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but to circumstances beyond our control.”
The changes to the services are scheduled to last until 22 October 2025.

The update advises potential bus passengers to refer to the timetables online on their website rather than the pdf timetables or the Timetable book.
