    Seem to be a few gremlins on the system at the moment! All timetables for Go Cornwall have been set as from 14th April, so nothing showing for any timetables before then!

    SWR to withdraw public access to Guildford Station Footbridge

    The issue I would be most concerned about is that if this become permanent it opens the potential to closing the access from Guildford Park Road even to ticket holders. It would be a significant inconvenience for anyone going to catch a train from Guildford Park Road if they had to trapse all...

    GWR Strike Timetables

    Reading to Gatwick appears to be operating normally until late afternoon tomorrow, but in the evening it's just east of Guilford. Presumably linked to the dispute when getting to the GWR Main Line.

    Trivia: Train Services that run wholly within the same Council area

    Guildford to Farnham - starts and ends in Surrey, but goes via Hampshire!

    Rail replacement washout on SWR

    Not looking good from Farnborough today. Sadly may need to change plan today and spend the time looking to buy a car instead

    TSSA are striking on GWR on 6th October too, which is the reason they are quoting

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Thanks for the link. Interesting that just on a cursory glance at services I use there are a number of changes that don't appear to have been advertised in the pre-change publicity. A major recast of 315 Hopley's Redruth to St Agnes timetable and the withdrawal of 75 link to Liskeard Station...

    Do many people use the bus just to travel to the next stop?

    Quite frequently, though this is because it's 1.7 miles between adjacent stops in Cornwall near where between Rose-an-Grouse & Hayle. Indeed St Erth & Hayle railway stations are closer together than the adjacent bus stops.... but that's probably a different thread!

    Incorrect info from ticket office – What if??

    Kensington Olympia (not via London) tickets are certain available at the Farnborough TVMs. I purchased such tickets for the self same event last Tuesday. Doesn't excuse the service received at the booking office mind!

    New interoperability Ticketing agreement for Cornwall

    Having looked at my App today a 5 ticket bundle of a whole network tickets costs £20, so equivalent to £4 per day and town networks all appear to be £10 for 5 so £2 each as opposed to £2.50 is bought individually

    London Travel card

    You can get to Slough on a Travelcard but would need to catch TfL bus service 81 from Hounslow, and it takes a while!

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    A single First Cornwall Day Ticket is £13, if bought via their App. If your friend travels on buses in Cornwall even semi-regularly then they can buy a pack of 5 Day Tickets for £30, valid for a year, so that works out at £6 per day.

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Whilst I understand the reasons for not diverting to St Erth Interchange particularly for the T1, the Lands End Coaster is primarily a tourist route so needs to make it easy to pick up tourists and St Erth Station is somewhere they will arrive. What exacerbates the problem is there is no...

    That's a shame I've always enjoyed sitting outside the Queens Arms, seeing the bus appearing, finishing off my pint and sticking my hand out :-) Can still do this from the right seats in the garden at Gurnards Head though!

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    First Kernow have announced that the A2 & A3 Open Top routes are being withdrawn from Sunday. Totally understandable in the current situation, though I shall miss the couple of bracing rides I had in December before lockdown.

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    First Kernow now appear to be intending to operate the A17 Sunday evening service between Penzance and St Ives through the winter, contrary to the published timetable book which had the service ending last weekend. Not sure if this is off their own back or contracted to the County Council

    Go Cornwall Bus

    Bustimes.org seems to have almost randomly split Cornwall operations between Transport for Cornwall and Plymouth Citybus, which is making it rather difficult to find timetables! 16 Penzance to St Ives is listed under Plymouth Citybus, whilst 16A is under Transport for Cornwall! In fact it...

    100% definitely serves the station, was on it yesterday, its only T1 that bypasses the Interchange now
