Stagecoach Devon Ltd • PH1020951

Three new special Park & Rides for a one off event in Exeter along with a slight change to Plymouth Park & Ride 200

Licence	Route	Start Point	End Point	Effective	Notes
PH1020951.235	200	Coypool Park & Ride	Plymouth Royal Parade	12-Nov-2018	No details given by Stagecoach but the service now seems to stop at several more selected stops along the route rather than non stop from the city centre to Coypool. The timetable itself remains unchanged so presumably they are not expected to stay long at these additional stops. Traveline Timetable Traveline Map

Stagecoach at Derriford

Derriford Hospital has always been a good place to observe buses, being the second busiest bus terminus after Royal Parade. The scene though has changed quite a bit recently with Stagecoach taking on most of the Target Travel work along with former Citybus route 14. So we have a bit of a photo feature looking at Stagecoach at Derriford Hospital over the last week or so…

Newly acquired Dennis Dart 34849 on the 14.

The 52 now departs from Derriford in both directions as seen by 34607 seen back on the 1st November.

and also another recently acquired Dart 35134 YN56HBB.

Traffic at Derriford has affected buses in and out of Derriford quite badly recently so you often get buses bunched up. These two are both branded for the 1 and also both running on the 1 seen in horrible weather on the 6th!

Dartmoor Heritage Bus Run

The Plymouth City Transport Preservation Group have a nice little event coming up to which all are invited.

25th November 2018

The new committee would like to invite you all to attend their first event, entitled "Dartmoor Rover Heritage Bus Running Day"
As the name probably gives away, we are taking a few of the preserved vehicles onto Dartmoor for the day!
Confirmed vehicles include
* TTT 168X - Plymouth Citybus Atlantean
* FDV 787V - LHS BlueBus
* MCO 658 - "358" - Sir Francis Drake Open Topper - Leyland Titan PD2 (Weather dependent)
I have attached both a photo and a PDF of the operating timetable, this also shows transport connections using the Stagecoach Service 1 to allow you to join in on the day even if you don't initally travel with us from Plymouth.
The event is open to both members and non-members, so bring along friends and family. We just hope the weather will be good on the day!
Any queries, please forward them to "Events@plymouthcitytransport.co.uk"
