Transport Links

GWR.com
The quickest and most comfortable way to travel. Great value, especially with a Devon & Cornwall Railcard.

Transport for Cornwall
Thankfully now running most routes within Cornwall, with services cut by First Kernow over the years restored and more affordable day tickets.

Cornwall by Kernow
Journeys cut even further on the routes/times they still run. Price rises well above those of rail fares make these buses expensive, if too young to have a bus pass or too old to have a smartphone.
