I remember taking the SNCF▸ train into Portbou and the RENFE▸ train back to Cebere one afternoon some years ago. On arrival in Spain, one side of the platform was all in the blue and grey of SNCF and the other side of the red and yellow of RENFE. It was the same in the shared buffet with croissants one side and tortillas the other. I half expected a Ronnie Barker type character to address me in French costume and accent on one side and then turn round and repeat it all again in Spanish. At least I was not charged in francs and pesetas because they were in the euro zone by then!!

As I thought BCT stop running the m1 metrobus tomorrow. No service over the weekend. First take it over from Monday. All the other bus services cease tomorrow. No guarantee from Weca that alternative operators can be found.
from Travelwest...
m1 and other bus services not operating 3rd and 4th September Disruption to services is also likely on 2nd September. This page was last updated on 01/09/2022 at 14:20.
JUMP TO: m1 metrobus service Other services run by the HCT Group Summary of changes M1 METROBUS SERVICE HCT group, which operates the m1 metrobus service, has informed us, that regrettably, it will be unable to operate the service after Friday 2nd September. The future of the service, however, has been secured and operations will be transferred to First Bus, which will start operating the service from Monday 5th September to a slightly revised timetable.
We ask that passengers be aware that there may be disruptions to some late evening journeys on Friday 2nd September and that there will be no service on Saturday 3rd or Sunday 4th September due to the transfer of staff and buses.

Perhaps the organising commitees of Boardmasters and the Brizzle Bloon Fester could actually talk to each other about NOT holding their events on the same weekend in future years. Then there mght be a fairer share of buses all round. It was a shame the surfers didnt hang on one more day. The streets of Newquay were awash on Monday!
