Good evening everyone
You're probably wondering what a guided busway is? These are special tracks which buses can run on without any other traffic. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_bus)
So, where is it going to be?
Well, for those that are interested, the busway is going to installed next to the Embankment and Plymouth Citybus routes 20 (partial), 20A (partial), 21, 21A, 50, 50A and 51 and Stagecoach South West routes 200, X38 and Gold alongside Target Travel routes 19 and 59 will take advantage of the busway and buses will be retrofitted with wheels which are capable of using the busways.
All buses which will use at least part of this route regardless of operator will be repainted into the new Plymouth Guided Busway livery which will be unveiled soon.
The plan is that if this guided busway is successful, there are plans to build further guided busways linking the City Centre and St Budeaux although the routes details are not confirmed yet, another linking the City Centre and Derriford (and possibly beyond) although whether it will go through Mutley Plain or through Milehouse is yet to be decided, and there could even be a route linking the City Centre to Plymstock although details of that are yet to be decided.
More details will be revealed in tomorrow night's post.
