In a flurry of activity a few days before Christmas, the Transport for Cornwall website has posted three stories in one day. Since the “new” website was launched in January 2025, the persons responsible for maintaining the website (Go Cornwall Bus/Plymouth Citybus) posted 10 news stories between January and November; in December they have posted six stories so far, with three of those coming today. See TfC news.
The stories are:
“Have your say on buses in Cornwall” - just a few weeks after Cornwall Council invited people to apply to join a panel to discuss bus services, the Council is now inviting anyone to "take part in a national pilot, offering a rural perspective on how bus networks are delivered.”
"All 50 Electric Buses Now in Service Across Plymouth and Cornwall” - this is about how funding from the national government plus contributions from Plymouth City Council and Cornwall Council have helped Plymouth Citybus replace about half their fleet of vehicles with electric vehicles. Most are deployed within Plymouth but Cornwall sees the no. 70 service from Plymouth to Cremyll via Torpoint covered by these new vehicles.
"Looking Out for Each Other on the Bus - Our Common Courtesy Campaign” - Go Cornwall Bus has launched a new Common Courtesy campaign following customer feedback about how on board reminders could help make bus journeys more comfortable for everyone.
Hopefully, this activity is a sign that the management at Go Cornwall Bus/Citybus are paying a bit more attention to the TfC website than they have to date.
