His version is close to what some other companies would do. Having a 56 and 56A or 57 would be even better.<br />Just because FBB is / has been asked to advise doesn't mean that the person ultimately responsible for timetable production will take any notice. Just ask any transport consultant about being paid to give advise which is ignored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-76964739839505611552015-05-20T21:39:44.791+01:002015-05-20T21:39:44.791+01:00I thought FBB had been appointed special timetable...I thought FBB had been appointed special timetable advisor to First in Kernow land and had access to the great and good(?) now running this slice of the empire?<br />Is the honeymoon period for the chubby one now well and truly over?<br />Was he paid for his advice which appears to have been promptly ignored?<br />What was the point of the special advisor appointment if they are not prepared to listen to FBB?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-22550192163383637942015-05-19T21:10:52.145+01:002015-05-19T21:10:52.145+01:00On a positive note....for the first time ever sinc...On a positive note....for the first time ever since the merger of the 1 and the 4 into the 1/1A nearly 30 years ago the timetable shows that both Porthcurno and Sennen are served on most journeys by staying on the bus at Lands End, and that eg, you can catch a bus from Porthcurno to Penzance both direct and via Lands End.

The main purpose of this blog now appears to be to make repeated unjustified criticisms of organisations which are not prepared to conform to the eccentric views of FBB.

The First Kernow local bus guide for Newquay, which most people will use, has separate Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday/Public Holiday timetables for service 56, which are easy to understand.<br />2. Your timetable omits the mid-season journeys from Newquay at 1000 and 1100 on Monday to Friday and also omits the 1505 on both mid-season and peak-season Sundays.<br />3. I suspect that Traveline is wrong as I would not expect First to produce a timetable with the bus arriving at and departing from Padstow at 1635.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-51422078523157263272015-05-19T08:25:38.557+01:002015-05-19T08:25:38.557+01:00Also the 1030 runs on Mondays to FridaysAlso the 1030 runs on Mondays to FridaysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-22051431408635083402015-05-19T08:24:12.975+01:002015-05-19T08:24:12.975+01:00Thank you for those corrections.

First's printed/on-line or Traveline which feeds various journey planners.
