Ride Cornwall- confusing validity

« on: September 10, 2015, 19:01:25 »

I'm trying to work out the validity of Ride Cornwall Rail/Bus ranger regarding Plymouth City bus/ Go Cornwall. Can anyone clarify?

Various sources give various answers to confuse me.

Available on all bus routes operated by First and CityBus / Go Cornwall.

Ride Cornwall is not valid for local bus journeys within the City of Plymouth or on the services of bus operators not listed, including Plymouth CityBus.

Ride Cornwall

1 day unlimited travel on First Great Western Rail & Cross Country Trains, all Plymouth Citybus and Go Cornwall Bus services. Adult ^10 / Child ^7.50

Cornwall Council the operator of this ticket who reimburse companies for journeys made still say Western Greyhound in their T+Cs

First Group website says all trains and only First buses in Cornwall.

I'm mainly using trains to get around with some bus photos tomorrow, hoping to get some of the new additions to First Kernow, but also popping up to Plymouth to get shots of Stagecoach & Citybus if time allows.

On good authority....

Trains - First & XC^▸ 'tween PLY^» - PNZ and branches
Buses - all First & Citybus within Cornwall and for journeys which cross the Tamar (No journeys wholly within PLY or Devon side of the Tamar)

after 09.00 Mon - Fri (Plus easements on the trains shown or as near as)
anytime Sat & Sun

Thanks.

It was all too confusing for me only having 4 different online sources with varying validity.

It also caught my eye that Plymouth Citybus website says all PCB services and doesn't mention the requirement of only services crossing to Cornwall.
