St ives on a sunny day has to be the most scenic

I don’t know what the sales of Ride Cornwall were like before or after price rise, but the only Ride Cornwall tickets I’ve ever seen was a member of this forum who makes contact to find out my duty and pop and say Hi when he’s about on such a ticket. Maybe 3-4 times I’ve seen him present me with a Ride Cornwall. He plans visiting me into his day so distorts my Ride Cornwall ticket holder figures I take!

Not valid as per the T&Cs, which have now been amended

I know of several seniors who catch the bus with their passes, and just yap to whoever sits near them. It’s almost like a social service for lonely elderly as well as a bus

The restriction was applicable until this price increase. On First Ticketer machines it was greyed out and couldn’t be sold before 9.

The Ride Cornwall time restriction has also been removed from the bus element.

I imagine most staff will try and accommodate or turn a blind eye despite policy if it avoids conflict.

£13 to £18. It’s only seen 1 small price rise in 10 years I think, and consensus is it was under priced.
It’s always been person to person purchase only.
All partners were pushing for price rise, DfT/RDG apparently approved the price rise late this week, presumably a withdrawal threat worked. The price rise has apparently been waiting for approval for considerable time.
I understand GWR are introducing a Cornwall rail only rover at £12.50 (possibly today, a ticket office staff contact said they had a email on Friday concerning it)

To add to Grahame, a local service route can be a maximum of 50km before a tacho is required.
Operators split routes but run the vehicle through guaranteeing a through service, normally a 5 min stop at the changeover point.
Under domestic rules the full Dartmouth to Plymouth route is well under maximum driving time without a break. They may also change drivers mid route on some routes planned like this.
In Cornwall Truro to Bude sees on some services driver changes at either Summercourt or Wadebridge.

Reality is it’s too cheap! £13 for unlimited rail, First bus and Plymouth city bus services.
Compared to individual fares;

Train Plymouth to Penzance return is I believe £11.10

First Bus Truro to St Ives is £9 return, Padstow to Newquay again £9 return, Truro to Newquay £7.50 return.

Plymouth city bus Liskeard to waderbridge return is between £9 and £10.... strangely PCB all zone day rider is only £8 (their zones haven’t been updated since they started cornwall services and they now have some anomalies in their fares, Bude, Padstow, wadebridge)

£13 split between GWR, XC, First Kernow And Plymouth citybus doesn’t leave a lot each to allow unlimited travel. All parties have agreed the new price but the railway have failed to implement it on their systems

Sounds about right.

Newquay surfboard hire companies I imagine are rubbing their hands!

Haha

Just left the car with a friend for flying from Bristol airport. Didn’t visit anywhere in the town.

I drove to Weston super mare and back last Saturday with my children. My 2.0 diesel car averaged 67.2mpg on this round trip. I forget the distance but I’d guess around 200 miles round trip... but it’s not material such is the astronomical train price, 1 adult 2 children.
I could have got 20 gallons of diesel (or maybe more) for the train fare, enough to travel over 1000miles!

I don’t think my boss would like me giving my seat up on the bus
