Surely, the tree problems are between Moretonhampstead and Exeter?

Perhaps it was planned by the same person who has given the Exmoor Coaster a 5min turnaround in Ilfracombe. That is leading to serious delays eg up to 45mins late yesterday.

Today: 1704 Paddinton to Penzance terminating at Exeter 1804 & 1904 Paddington to Penzance both terminating at Plymouth. Last train is now 1604. How does that happen on a busy Friday evening especially as GWR have been performing well recently?

There seems to be some confusion over the source of funding. The £12m a year to pay for mostly empty buses has come from Cornwall Council. The Government money was for a low fare project which has yet to be introduced. On the Buses is correct.

It doesn’t go via Perranuthnoe. That is the 39A but the issue is still relevant. There is no integrated network. Just look at the map on the website. There is no reference to Kernow services so who would know that there is a bus service between Truro and Falmouth or that Perranporth has any bus...

I have travelled on this route a few times. On each occasion I have been the only passenger. There are similar unused new or expanded routed across Cornwall. For how long can Cornwall Council continue to waste £12m a year on this network whilst, like most other local authorities, they are having...

There is a difference between school buses carrying adults and service buses carrying pupils. My examples fall into the latter category. These routes have never had two hour gaps in the past.

It is a common practice for operators to add extra journeys to regular headway services to cater for school traffic. A decision to restrict those to pupils is understandable where the regular frequency is still running. However, in Cornwall, there are several examples where journeys which form...

Details also on the TfC website

I have travelled quite extensively on TfC routes over the last few weeks ranging across the whole of Cornwall. Several of the buses have been completely empty. I also regularly watch buses arrive in town centres with just a few passengers. From my rough calculations I think that the subsidy...

The new flags include the TFC website address but that won’t help you with information about the majority of buses on that route. Just as well that Kernow have put timetable information on most stops.

Whatever it is supposed to be the result is the same - empty buses on the 176 and on many other new routes and services which enjoy double the previous service. I hope the council taxpayers of Cornwall feel that their +£12m a year is being well spent. (I don’!)

The Transport for Cornwall website clearly shows that ’we are part of the Go Ahead group’ with a registered address in Newcastle. Not, of course, tru.

I spent some time on Truro bus station today. First Kernow - all timetables on a central display supported by departure times on each stand, each bus cleaned internally between journeys, social distancing signs on seats Go Cornwall - no timetable displays anywhere, no buses cleaned, no signs on...

The timetable, with all its faults, was specified by Cornwall Council.

If CC believe that there should be a more frequent service shouldn't the first step be to discuss it with the commercial operator?

Surely the basic point here is that there was no tender for the summer period. Kernow registered and publicised a commercial summer service. The current A5 is commercial. It is only running every two hours but I expect that Kernow would consider increasing that if / when the tourists return. The...

Without reopening a can of worms that could take us back to Corserv!

From what I heard CC did not indicate that they were looking to award everything to one contractor.

A few points: a) nobody has suggested there is anything suspicious about the relationship between Corserv (of which Cormac is a part) and Go Ahead. However, it is a fact (as already pointed out by others) that Corserv do not pay rent or business rates. The unfairness of this has been raised in...
