Transport alert

Bank holiday network works

Easter and the May bank holidays are the heaviest engineering weekends of the year. April trips into Plymouth should be planned around a possible line closure.

Ground note

Plymouth is a long trip for most away followings — factor in significant travel time from anywhere north or east.

Ground note

The city centre and Barbican are some distance from Home Park; budget time to see both.
