It is time for the usual weekly look back on what has been published on the Registered Local Bus Services site over the last week. As always click through for more details including timetables and maps. It looks like quite a bit to report this last week but the First South West entries are all catching up with the Winter timetables introduced from the end of October, although a few of these were actually brought forward into September due the staffing issues.
Plymouth Citybus have a couple of new timetables for Plymouth over the Christmas period along with a few minor changes in Cornwall at the start of the new year.
The only other operator is Torbay Community who have cancelled registrations for two Tesco services from the 15th December. These were actually published a couple of weeks ago, and I have only just noticed!

Following customer requests, the 42C will stop at the George Park and Ride Monday – Friday, from Monday 6th December. To allow time for this, and to take road congestion into account, the 42 from Royal Parade will leave at 7:40 (five minutes earlier) and the 42A will leave at 7:20 (also five minutes earlier). All 42s buses running between 7:15 and 8:30 from Royal Parade will have extra time built into the timetable to allow for extra traffic at Manadon Roundabout.
