We’re making a few changes to buses that serve Truro and Penwith Colleges from the start of term - Thursday 8 September 2022.

You can find detailed maps and timetables in the Truro and Penwith College travel guide.

Below are the route changes:

27	The first and last buses of the day no longer extend to/from Cornwall Services. From Cornwall Services, Victoria and Roche, the 890 will now serve the same bus stops towards college in the morning. From Stenalees, Bugle and Penwithick, the 220 will now run the opposite direction, picking you up at the opposite side of the road in the morning.
160 200	The 160 will run from Carbis Bay Tesco – if you are looking to travel from stops between Carbis Bay and St Erth, you can use the 17 to get to/from Penwith College. The 200 will start from St Ives Malakoff in the morning – anyone needing to travel from Penbeagle, Halsetown and beyond can use the 160 and connect at St Ives. It’s the same going home, the 160 will connect at St Ives to take you to Penbeagle, Halsetown and beyond. This is so we can run a bigger bus on the 200 from St Ives.
220	Will start from Penwithick and serve Bugle, Stenalees and Whitemoor before running along the current route from Nanpean. From Whitemoor and St Dennis, the 890 will now run the opposite direction picking you up at the opposite side of the road.
270	Is replaced by the 220 and 890. From Cornwall Services, Victoria and Roche, the 890 will now serve the same bus stops towards college in the morning. From Stenalees, Bugle and Penwithick, the 220 will now run the opposite direction, picking you up at the opposite side of the road in the morning.
271	An extra bus will run mid-morning from Holmbush Inn to Truro College and back.
400 470	400 will start from Illogan Co-op and run via Bridge to Portreath then via current route to Truro College. 470 will start from Redruth rail station – Illogan is served by changes to the 400. If you used to get the 470 in Illogan, you can now use the 400, but it will pick you up on the opposite side of the road.
890	Will start from Bodmin Business Park and serve Roche and St Dennis. Launceston, Five Lanes and Bolventor are no longer served due to very low use.
950	The connecting bus from Polzeath will no longer run due to very low use.
Land’s End Coaster	The bus towards Penzace for the start of the Penwith College day will run to an amended route. The bus towards Truro College has a minor timetable change.
