Bus operators Cornwall by Kernow and Adventures by Bus have announced their timetables for the festive period, including Christmas and New Year.

On Christmas Eve a normal Saturday service will be operating. Then there will be no services on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day.

A Sunday service will operate on the 27 December* and on the Bank Holiday of Monday 2 January, with normal Monday to Friday timetables then resuming for the majority of services from Tuesday 3 January.

Simon Goff, Managing Director for Cornwall by Kernow said: "All through the year our priority is to provide an efficient service to get passengers to their destinations.

"We know that during the festive season passenger demand quietens down considerably, so we have adjusted our services to reflect this change in our scheduling.

"This means there will be no services running on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. However, across the rest of the holiday, our services will be running, although some may be slightly reduced, and we advise passengers to check timetables before travelling.

"We wish all our customers a very happy and safe festive period."
