PH1020951/158 - STAGECOACH DEVON LTD, BELGRAVE ROAD, EXETER, EX1 2LB Registration Accepted Starting Point: Buckfastleigh Station Approach Finish Point: Plymouth Bus Station Via: Service Number: X38 Service Type: Normal Stopping Effective Date: 11-APR-2011 Other Details: Monday to Saturday 8 journeys each way, Sunday & Bank Holidays 3 journeys each way
As you can see the service has been split into two at Buckfastleigh. This is due to the European driving hours legislation which has seen quite a few long distance services split this way.
If I read this correctly it does appear that there are to be only 8 journeys each way which seems a lot less than the current timetable. Sundays seem the same three runs each direction.

It isn't split at all; the buses will still work through, and so will the drivers. All that's split is the registration.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a stupid rule, why do you ask?
It seems it will still be hourly between Exeter and Buckfastleigh with only 8 journeys a day operating to Plymouth Bus Station. what happened to the bendi- coaches this route or has numbers drop big time?
