A comprehensive timetable book covering Cornwall’s bus services has been published for the past few years. Timetables will be changing again from 20 April 2025, see timetable changes. The latest timetable book was published on 4 April.
Note that the composite timetable does not include the services run by First specifically for Truro and Penwith College, nor the GoCornwall services to Callywith College, although the general public can catch these services if they wish.
There will be significant changes to some services, including the following:
• The open top Lands End Coaster service around the West Penwith peninsula is ceasing. First will run a 1/1A service between Penzance and Lands End. Go Cornwall Bus will run a limited 7/7A service along the north coast route from Lands End to St Ives only in the spring half-term holiday and the school summer holiday period.
• The trial of running the T2 service from St Ives to Truro through to St Austell or to Newquay (as a T3 service) is ceasing and the T2 will revert to its more traditional St Ives to Truro on a half-hourly basis. What used to be the 27 Truro to St Austell service is being restarted with a regular hourly timetable.
• Go Cornwall Bus 11 service that runs from Plymouth through to Wadebridge/Padstow is being essentially split in two sections: Plymouth to Liskeard, and Bodmin to Padstow.
• Go Cornwall Bus 12 service that runs from Plymouth through Callington and Launceston to Bude is being essentially split into three sections, one still numbered 12 and the other parts 76 and 76A.
• Go Cornwall Bus 25 Fowey through to Newquay will just run Fowey to St Austell. The St Austell to Newquay route will continue to be covered by the 21 service plus a new 21A partly covering what was the 25 route. There are also changes to the 22 service creating a 22A service to provide additional services to St Stephen to cover what has been lost from the 25 service.
• First Bus U1 which has run from Falmouth through Truro to Newquay will just run between Falmouth and Truro and the Truro to Newquay section will be covered by the 87.
• Go Cornwall Bus 90 will be replaced by no. 94.
There are many other changes and passengers are advised to study the new timetables carefully to ensure that they know which services they need to catch.
I have extracted from the composite guide the timetables for individual services that passengers may find more convenient to download than wading through the whole book that has over 100 pages.
I have also included links to the individual timetables for the routes to Truro and Penwith Colleges and to Callywith College. These timetables are, to the best of my knowledge, the correct timetables for the new academic year of 2024/25. Go Cornwall Bus has produced, for the first time in two years, a comprehensive timetable book covering all the routes to and from Callywith College.
For residents of the Rame peninsula who catch the Cremyll Ferry to Plymouth, I have included the ferry timetable and the timetable for Plymouth Citybus 34 that serves Stonehouse where the Cremyll Ferry lands and the Devonport drop off point from the Torpoint ferry.
Go Cornwall Bus have produced a useful mini-timetable booklet called Tamar Connections that includes those GCB services that cross the Tamar between Plymouth and South East Cornwall (nos. 10, 11, 12, 70, 71, 75), plus Plymouth Citybus no. 34.
