Ir is very encouraging to see this detailed approach to making bus services better. There is mention of rail-bus integration but I am not sure how much of a priority that is going to be.

All TFC and First Kernow buses now have the dual smartcard/contactless readers fitted AND I noted today that a similar reader has appeared at the base of the ramp leading up to Falmouth Town station, Penryn has one and there's the ticket machine at Penmere, I wonder when the incorporation of the line into the reduced fare system will happen.

Rail- bus integration in Cornwall is gather pace. The trains in Cornwall now have announcements stating what bus services connect at the next station ( e.g. at Saltash they mention Callington and Launceston by name,  at Redruth the Helston service, and at St Erth "connections to many places"). There is a very good rail bus interchange at St Austell, at Redruth, St Erth and at Penzance and a fairly good connection at Bodmin Parkway and Truro, so things are going in the right direction.
