Timetables

Note: New timetable book from July 2024

A comprehensive timetable covering Cornwall’s bus services was published in mid March 2024 to take effect from Sunday 31 March 2024. A new timetable book has been published to take effect in July 2024, see Bus Times July 2024.

The changes to the timetables from the March versions are as follows:

First N1 night bus from Newquay, as previously reported here, Saturday night/Sunday morning only from 6 July to 7 September.
Stagecoach 2/2A Plymouth to Saltash, changes were made to the timetable from 26 May.
Go Cornwall 10 Plymouth, Looe, Polperro, additional buses running under the number 110 between Looe and Polperro, with one of these buses starting from Launceston in the morning and returning to Launceston in late afternoon, service started 8 July.
Go Cornwall 11 Plymouth to Padstow, small tweaks to the timetables, from 24 July.
Go Cornwall 21 Newquay to St Austell, small tweaks to the timetables, from 24 July.
Go Cornwall 25 Fowey to Newquay, small changes to the timetables, from 24 July.
Go Cornwall 56 Newquay to Padstow, small tweaks to the timetables, from 24 July.
Go Cornwall 71 Saltash to Derriford, revised afternoon timetable to improve reliability, from 24 July.
Roselyn Coaches 72 Tregoad Holiday Park to Trelawne Manor, from 29 July to 7 September only.
Go Cornwall 73 Liskeard to Polperro, additional evening services, from 8 July.
Go Cornwall 85 Newquay to Truro, seems to be reverting to previous timetable from 24 July (after new timetable introduced in May because of hold-ups associated with the A30 construction works).
Go Cornwall 93 Newquay to Truro, additional buses within Newquay on the 93 route to service the summer holiday park and ride site, from 20 July.
Hopley’s Coaches 304 Porthtowan to Truro, last bus to Truro on Saturdays at 16:00, from 27 July.
Hopley’s Coaches 315 Redruth to St Agnes, slight reduction in service to Goonbell, from 24 July.

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. First and Go Cornwall Bus have, in previous years, published specific timetable books for these services, but seem to have ceased doing so this year.

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 2023/24 routes to Truro and Penwith Colleges and to Callywith College. See listing below.

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.

There is also a useful mini-timetable booklet produced by Go Cornwall Bus called Tamar Connections that includes those GCB services that cross the Tamar between Plymouth and South East Cornwall (nos. 10, 11,  110, 12, 70, 71, 75), plus Plymouth Citybus no. 34. The latest version of this booklet was published in July 2024 taking account of the recent changes in certain timetables.

Notes

There are a few timetables that look a little odd, in particular the services operated by Travel Cornwall numbers 423, 497 and 499. These operate between Summercourt and Gorran Haven, Truro and Tregony respectively. They are used by the operator to position buses either to or from those locations prior to, or after completing schedules in those areas, or school transport in those areas. For example, the first 51 of the day to Veryan departs from Tregony at 06:45. In order to position that bus in Tregony, a bus runs as the 499 from Summercourt to Tregony. The last 51 service  of the day finishes at Veryan at 18:42. It then becomes the 499, leaving Veryan at 18:43 to return to the depot at Summercourt via Tregony at 19:02 then runs along the Probus bypass to Tresillian then via Ladock and Brighton Cross.
