Certain journeys will be financially supported by Devon County Council with passengers in Buckfastleigh and Ashburton in mind, although regular links remain in place from these locations on route 88 to Newton Abbot and Totnes. The South West Falcon provides a faster and more comprehansive 24/7 service between Plymouth City Centre and Exeter (connecting with the Park & Ride at Sowton or Honiton Road).
  • To provide an extra bit of luxury for no additional cost, the X38 will be operated using Stagecoach Gold specification vehicles whenever possible, offering high back leather seats, extra legroom and free passenger WiFi.

  • To amend Route and Timetable.
  • The Blue, SR4 and Green Park & Ride services to Sowton and Matford are being combined to create a new cross-city link, including stops at Middlemoor, Heavitree Shops, Exeter University St Luke's campus and Exeter Quay (Haven Banks) in addition to the two park & ride car parks and a peak extension to Sowton Industrial Estate.
  • The route around Sowton will change, with all buses running to Sowton Park & Ride, and then continuing to the industrial estate via junction 30 and a one way clockwise loop of Kestrel Way and Moor Lane. Buses will no longer serve the top of Honiton Road near the Met Office, Honiton Road P&R, Osprey Road or Avocet Road, with the stops on Kestrel Way or the Red Honiton Road P&R service within walking distance.
  • The City Centre bus stops will change as a result of the new route, with new stops on the High Street replacing Paris Street (to Sowton) and South Street (to Matford). The new service will simply be known as the Green Park & Ride. Please remember that you will need to get on the bus on the opposite side of the road to where you got off to return to the correct car park.
  • Stagecoach Timetable GREEN Matford & Sowton Park & Ride
  • No new timetables on Traveline yet who still show the old Green and blue as current with no end dates. New maps will be added to the main page on PTBS when available.

Happy New Year!

Every Journey Taken Care Of

I have been updating the Plymouth Citybus Fleet List over the last day or two which includes the slow introduction to service of the EcoCity gas buses. The full compliment of Orange Flash 701-705 are now ready. 711/712 are in swoop with a new tag line at the rear of the bus. It seems that 706-710 will now NOT be Purple Flash. 708 at least is now also in full swoop livery.

Thanks to Richard Smith for these shots of 712 and a few Oranges.

I will now be taking my Christmas break with just a few posts over the next week or so, with just the weekly Devon & Cornwall Transit posts planned at the moment. I will be back properly in the New Year.

Just looking ahead though, One thing I will be doing early in 2017 is looking back at the highlights of 2016. So if you want some homework - feel free to send in your highlights for the year - anything transport related is welcome (if they come with pictures even better!) I can then share them over a couple of posts.

I also realise that I never did get round to the predictions for 2016 so I want to put that right this year- What do you expect to see in 2017? Anything across Devon & Cornwall that is transport related. I will then get them out early in 2017!

In the meantime have a great Christmas and Happy New Year to all my readers. Thanks to you all for you support, especially over this last difficult few weeks.

Target Strata

I must admit I am struggling at the moment to concentrate much on PT after events of the last few days so I am grateful for the supply of quality photos which get sent in as it gives me something to post ‘quickly’

Eco Flash

Yesterday finally saw the first of the MAN EcoCity Gas Buses enter Plymouth Citybus service with 703 out and about during the day. 705 was briefly out as well but had a technical issue. It was later observed back out on test so hopefully will be out and about shortly.

Finally for now, my only sighting of these buses so far was 705 sitting at the front of the workshops a damp evening last weekPlymouth Citybus 705 WX62HFU

Nice use of black does make these buses look even smarter.

Thanks to Tom Michaels and Richard Smith for the photos.
