Local-Bus Network Changes from 15th February

2 days ago Tue 13th Jan 2026

Go Cornwall Bus, as part of Transport for Cornwall, has worked closely with Cornwall Council to design a revised network that maintains strong accessibility for communities, major employment sites, education, health and key destinations across the county. While the current First Bus network will not be replicated like-for-like, we have ensured alternative or amended services will operate from 15th February with the pivotal priority to keep Cornwall connected.

Alongside the introduction of these new commercial services, a number of further changes on the network will be introduced on the 15th February, becoming the first main network change date for 2026, with a later review in the summer. The wider network changes are primarily to improve service performance, connectivity, reliability and punctuality and are based on customer and stakeholder feedback.

As outlined in our communication on 21st November, the revised network has been developed on the basis that the former First Bus network would not be replicated, with a strong focus on ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of all new and revised services.

The table below shows only services where changes are being made. All other TfC bus services will continue to operate as they do now, with no changes.
