THERE will be no parking at Home Park for George Michael concertgoers on Tuesday, June 19.

We are encouraging people attending the gig to use either the normal service buses to Home Park, or to take advantage of one of two special Park & Ride buses being laid on.

People travelling into Plymouth from the East are asked to use the Coypool Park & Ride or park in the city centre car parks.

People travelling in from the North of the city are asked to use the George Junction Park & Ride.

People travelling into Plymouth from Cornwall are asked to park in the city centre car-parks and use the local bus service to travel to the concert

COYPOOL PARK AND RIDE
Buses will leave from Marsh Mills roundabout off the A38 every 10 minutes between 3.30-7.30pm and return straight after the concert until midnight. The return fare is £2.50. The service will NOT pick up city centre passengers.

GEORGE JUNCTION PARK AND RIDE
Buses will be leave every 10 minutes between 3.30-7.30pm and return straight after the concert until midnight. The return fare £2.50.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Plymouth Citybus and First Devon & Cornwall will be operating normal bus services to Alma Road and Outland Road during the evening.

The First Devon & Cornwall services to look out for are numbers 14 and 81.
Plymouth Citybus generally provides buses every five minutes until just before 6pm, with bus frequencies on services 43/A/B and 29 reducing to every 30 minutes between 7pm-11.30pm.

However, Citybus will lay on extra buses before the concert, with the last of the extra buses leaving Royal Parade at around 7pm. These services operate from stop A4 on Royal Parade, pick up at the Toys 'R' Us car-park, then opposite Sainsbury's and the railway station, before dropping off by Plymouth Citybus bus depot.

Citybus will also provide extra buses after the concert from the Milehouse Alma Road stop opposite Plymouth Citybus Bus Depot, travelling to Royal Parade by way of Western Approach and dropping off at Drake Circus.

The fare from Royal Parade to Milehouse is £1.30. Passengers are encouraged to have the exact fare ready as this will speed up the service. Plymouth Citybus day-tickets and season-tickets will be valid, as will Devon & Plymouth free bus-pass holders.
