- As usual there is no explanation of these changes on Target Travel web site (as at Sunday21st anyway). The timetable still shows the old route to Devonport.
The links on Target Travel site still display the old timetables (with a nice big image promising a new web site in 2015!). You could try entering 53 in the timetable search box…
apparently it only works for routes with 3 characters - whilst most of their routes only have 2!

In The News
RESIDENTS in Aller have said that it is incredibly lucky that no-one has been seriously injured after another double-decker bus collided with a tree branch in the estate. While work is being undertaken on the South Devon Highway, the no.12 and the x46 buses have been diverted through the Aller estate. The latest incident on Wednesday saw the front metal bar of the bus bent from the impact and damage to the windscreen and fibreglass body of the bus, which knocked the 12ft branch 30ft up the road.

ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, obviously me having one of those days! I also suspect I left the Ltd off too!
DeleteWeird. Target Travel Ltd isn't even their name. It's hardly surprising really that people struggle to find it when they're using the name of a company that doesn't exist!
