Devon & Cornwall Transit 2021: Week 38

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.

  • First South West: Quite a few service suspensions due to COVID (staff shortages)
  • Plymouth Citybus: These are a few corrections to previous notices
  • Eastwood (Royal Buses) A few timetables changing – looks like they have ended the summer season earlier than planned (probably staff shortages too)

I suspect there are others which will appear as most operators are having major staff shortages at the moment so I suspect some will aim to reduce their services to levels they can actually staff. Better to have a reliable 30 mins frequency than a 20 mins one with buses missing!

Planned changes for this coming week:

Stagecoach have a couple of summer seasonal services coming to and end, or being reduced:

 Licence Route Start Point End Point Effective NotesOPERATOR
PH1020951.031 95 Exeter Sandy Bay (Devon Cliffs) 26-Sep-2021 Revised timetable to hourly STAGECOACH DEVON LTD
PH1020951.340 222 Dawlish Warren Teignmouth 25-Sep-2021 Cancel service for end of season. STAGECOACH DEVON LTD

Another planned service change that has not made it through onto the govt download is The Falcon:

Don't forget we've introduced a temporary timetable to our Falcon coach service from today, so that we can keep you connected more smoothly whilst we train drivers to join our Falcon driving team. You can view the temporary timetable here http://stge.co/IaKp50GeC00
