Devon & Cornwall Transit 2021: Week 37

It is time for the usual weekly look back on what has been published on the Registered Local Bus Services site over the last week. As always click through for more details including timetables and maps.

It looks like its busy but looks can be deceptive as a lot of these are old ones which are catching up, some from a long time ago!

Stagecoach: A few school timetables change along with a few more registrations catching up on changes over the last 18 months.

St Ives Bus: service suspension

Plymouth Citybus: These look like corrections to recent service amendments

First SW (Buses of Somerset) service reverts back to pre covid registration

Taw & Torridge: minor timetable change – details unknown

Crude: School service new timetable

Dennis Oates: All services cancelled – many of these probably have not run for years!

So of all those listed below only 2 are for future planned service changes: Stagecoach 12 &, Stagecoach IJKT,

  1. What is wrong with the coach companies why do they get rid of the toliet to make way for 2 seats now long distance travel would be awful as there is no toliet

    1. But they have plenty of coaches with toilets for the longer distance work, these will probably be used for more local hires / schools etc so toilets not needed. You dont need to have toilets in every coach

    2. It's quite common to downgrade older coaches when they are displaced from front-line work by newer vehicles. If this is to be used for more local runs the toilet isn't needed so it makes sense to take it out and increase the seating capacity.

  2. Is the Dartmoor Explorer still running to the summer timetable?

  3. No Dereck, the additional Tavy started was quietly dropped & some weekends none have operated due to no drivers but this has been kept quiet disgracefully!

  4. interesting what you say about the DE service, as the first adventures by bus website still shows all 3 journeys running, as does traveline, but bustimes doesn't show a timetable at all

  5. Stagecoach servuce 1 to divert in and out of George Park and Ride from October 24th. Not sure if any more network changes coming?

    1. Is that official now anywhere? Yes also cuts on routes 2 & 2A due no staff.

      Delete
    2. Its official in that it has been registered. Not sure if its been publicised yet though. Its difficult to tell on their web site

  6. Agree Graham, SC website awful & have noticed a great number of cancelled daily services are not listed either - another cover-up.

  7. Plymouth 2/2A have gone to a reduced timetable from Monday 11th October, every 30 minutes on each route. It appears this is a temporary reduction. Exeter route 57 has also gone to a temporary 30 minute frequency from the same date.
