Some early morning journeys on Saturdays withdrawn."To amend Route and Timetable.: Service generally re-timed to adjust for the improvements now in effect in Prince Rock. To improve the overall efficiency of the service the service will no longer service Steer Park (See Service 20). Instead the service is to start and terminate at the District centre Chaddlewood. A couple of the very early morning journeys on Saturdays are to be withdrawn. For Steer Park the alternative fast bus provision would be either walk to the District centre or catch the Service 20 to Ridgeway and then change to the Service 21

Peter Oliver Commercial Manager for Plymouth Citybus says, “We are really pleased to be putting the Service 21 back into Steer Park, this to a very large part is due our drivers and customers feedback. On the back of this we have high confidence that the new timetable will work”

COVID19 Emergency Timetable

We are finding that due to the lack of congestion in the city, bus journey times have been reduced. The last thing both passengers and drivers want is to be sat in a bus stop waiting for the timetabled departure time before setting off again. We have updated a number of our services, reducing running time, so the journey is speed up. We have not reduced any frequencies, or cut any journeys. Just made the current journeys faster.
