    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Yeah definitely is in Plymouth and was even when First ran it. Seems a very strange decision by Cornwall Council IMO and very confusing for passengers. Any ticket, any Bus.. except when not valid etc.

    Stagecoach Takeover Discussion

    This is absolutely terrible. Absolutely no marketing as stated. I only found out when I went to travel . I messaged Stagecoach and they acted as if always been this way. Not great customer service as well. Also concessionary passes between Plymouth and Tiverton was stopped without notice too

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Spent weekend in Cornwall and have to say was very impressed with First Kernow services I used over several days.... 91, U1a, T1, T2 and PR1 Truro. The standard of bus is much better now than I remember from their Plymouth days, even with tables! A definite turnaround. Only question and I...

    Stagecoach South West - Fleet News & Discussion

    Stagecoach sold to National Express. Megabus and Falcon sold to comfort del group . They will take over Feb 2022 and deal should complete by end of next year. I wonder how this will affect Stagecoach SW services going forward?

    Stagecoach South West - Fleet News & Discussion

    You got to be good to find anything on Stagecoach website!! I find updates like this by typing Stagecoach SW promo in Google - No idea how to find it on the site itself. Just hope it is not a precursor to a cut or withdrawal to 101? Personally I would route 101 on same route as 1 and align the...

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Good to know thank you. It is good to see a reminder of Firsts' once proud network in the city of Plymouth. UGOBUS was a great concept and really could have worked well IMO of First had been more willing to keep at it at the time

    I had a blast from the past Monday night when I was passed on the A38 near Plymouth by a fully livered First Plymouth Ugobus single decker. Those were the days!

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    I've got to be honest, I really couldn't care less what bus turns up on what route. I'm not trying to be funny, but I am more interested in services turning up on time and being affordable to all, which was going well in Cornwall of course until Transport for Cornwall came along and turned 1...

    Does anyone know if First South West (Trurorian) are running rail replacement between Exeter and Plymouth today?)

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    How unbelievable short sighted can they get. Let's all object to a brilliant service that brings people into the area and spend money on our local businesses... absolutely brilliant

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Thanks for info. May take up the suggestion thanks. As you drive the service sometimes , does it stop at all stops en-route in Plymouth or just those listed please? Ie can I board at any stop along Outland Road or is it just Milehouse or Crownhill?

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Thanks just the 2 hour time is rather early to perhaps enjoy lunch for example. I appreciate it is fitting around college runs but hoped for extra service maybe from Plymouth in summer as is being done from Exeter. Good to.know re fares, I have tried to get this info by email but did not get...

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    I think one problem is that it does not have very good connections from Plymouth. Only 1 each way from Plymouth to Tavistock. If I want to go out to say Princetown or Moretonhampstead I barely have time for cup of coffee before bus back. I appreciate there is Stagecoach service 1 from...

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    That's fair enough. I look forward to seeing what else you have planned! I would like to suggest Plymouth to Polperro opentopper along the coast via Torpoint! Would be lovely i reckon if summer ever turns up

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    OK fair enough, I was hoping for an extra journey each way Plymouth to Moretonhampstead section that was all, particularly during the summer season

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Sorry I meant you are adding extra journey on Exeter to Tavistock bit so could the Tavistock to Plymouth part also be added. Extra journey right through. I did not explain that very well. Apologies I knew what I meant! 1621884228

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Well it would just be nice to.have options from Plymouth to go for lunch on the moor, a walk perhaps and have a bus back. At the moment bus gets to Postbridge for example at 11.20 and only bus back is just after 13.00. Bit early for lunch and a £10 is a lot to pay for 1 hour 30 mins on moors...
