Weymouth : Marks?

Must be a load of schoolkids around!


I'm not entirely sure why it can't just state "Weymouth".  I'm pretty sure all NX Weymouth services terminate outside Marks & Spencers.

I'm not sure where to post this, but this is one working that may interest a few people...A photo has been posted on the West Midlands Transport Facebook group of Edwards Boa Vista BU18 OTB on the northbound 330 today from Penzance to Nottingham. It should operate the southbound 330 tomorrow if it isn't swapped. If anyone wants to photograph it, the coach should be in Digbeth Coach Station between 10:05-11:00 tomorrow morning.

It's been stated in a comment by someone who works for NX that it'll either be swapped tonight, or tomorrow in Bristol.

I noticed the 504 destination displays haven't been updated and still were showing via St Ives on the coach that was operating the 06:50 from Camborne to London on Wednesday morning.
Does anyone know why it no longer serves St Ives as it was still serving it last year. Is it something to do with the signs at the bus station that have also been put up in the last year?
"Kernow Buses Only
Maximum 2 Buses at any time
All other vehicles are prohibited
CCTV and Enforcement In Operation"?

Probably it just wasn't carrying enough passengers to serve St Ives. If it was a viable town to serve then I am sure an alternative stop would have been used in the town even if the bus station couldn't be used.

Could be that there isn't anywhere suitable in the town? Can't see any alternative stop in the town where it'd be suitable to turn a coach round. Some coaches operating on private hires seem to struggle getting round the narrow roads.
As it does stop at St Erth now and other than train connections to St Ives there's nothing at St Erth? Or could it be it took to much time going into the town for the number of people using it, so its easier to stop at St Erth (where there are trains to St Ives) on the way to Penzance rather than going into ST Ives?
