Changes to Go Cornwall Bus timetable: new Falmouth to Truro route

Go Cornwall Bus is launching new timetables that come into effect from Sunday, September 5.

The company said this would mean new services and more reliable services.

In pole position is the new route F1. This new service between Falmouth and Truro runs every hour, providing a faster alternative than the current routes between the two towns.

Next up, the new 190 is a new service serving Callywith College, ensuring a more even spread throughout St Austell, alongside the current 188 and 189 routes.

Travelling between Bodmin and St Austell will also become easier, with a half-hourly service provided through either the 26 via Bugle or the 26A via Roche, and within Bodmin, the 54 and 54A will make it easier for passengers to choose the route around the town that suits them best.

The new timetable is launching in September

Service 3 is a new standalone service for Penzance, which will cover the local supermarkets, and some journeys have been extended due to demand.

James Church, commercial and customer manager of Go Cornwall Bus, said: “We’re constantly looking at our timetables and adapting them to our passengers’ needs.

"Now Covid restrictions are reduced, it’s great seeing more people coming back onto the buses and to be able to provide even more choice for our passengers.”

The company said that the majority of any other timetable changes would be minor, to ensure buses run on time, accommodate schools and colleges and to address issues Go Cornwall Bus have been made aware of.

Full details of the changes will be available at www.gocornwallbus.co.uk, via the Go Cornwall Bus app, or in paper format from late August.
