The 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. Well it would be if there were any!
This coming week:
This weekend sees quite a few timetables changes: mostly Plymouth Citybus with a few from AB Coaches and AVMT. The Stagecoach service 2 although listed from 25th April is more likely a late recording of the new timetable listed from 2nd April.
