Each column is one journey, headed by the time it sets off; one that finishes short of the usual end says where ("to …") — not every journey on this route runs the whole way. A · means that journey does not stop there. Times are shown at the route's main timing stops — buses serve all stops in between. Switch a table to All stops for every stop it calls at, or open a stop's own page for live departures there.

Christmas & bank holidays
These dates are not the usual timetable for the day they fall on. They come from the operator’s published data, which for Christmas and New Year is often late or incomplete, so check with Go Cornwall Bus before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
- Christmas Eve — Thursday, 24 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Thursday (31 journeys in both directions together, against 18), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Go Cornwall Bus before you travel.
- Monday, 28 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Monday (31 journeys in both directions together, against 18), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Go Cornwall Bus before you travel.
- Tuesday, 29 December 2026 towards St Keverne: 8 journeys, first 06:58 towards Truro: 8 journeys, first 06:59
- Wednesday, 30 December 2026 towards St Keverne: 8 journeys, first 06:58 towards Truro: 8 journeys, first 06:59
- New Year's Eve — Thursday, 31 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Thursday (31 journeys in both directions together, against 18), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Go Cornwall Bus before you travel.
