The 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.
Lots again this last week with most of these still being from the first week of September, which seem to be taking a long time to filter through
- DJ Watts (Torbay Buses) a new timetable for local service 25 from this weekend. New timetable is on the page. No idea what has changed as neither Torbay Council or the operator bother to detail their services at all
- Plymouth Citybus – quite a few late changes to timetables from 4th September.
- Dealtop (Dartline) This is an odd one in that they appear to be cancelling service 373 which I didn't get through as a new service in the first place. Traveline show timetables as being joint with Stagecoach so it does appear the service is continuing from 30 October
- Summercourt (Travel Cornwall) Another service changed back from 4 September
- AVMT changes to the 897 and 899, again from 4th September. These new timetables have yet to appear on Traveline
- Stagecoach. New timetables for X38, again from 4 September

The roll out of service registration updates from the Vehicle Operator Licensing service for the early September changes has been really protracted which is a real pain. Some of these seem to be late changes but its clear that a lot of them are just taking ages to trickle through on their web site feed. Hopefully most of these will be through now and things will settle down a bit…
This Week
The only new timetable from this week is Torbay Buses 25 as detailed above
Social Media
The end is nigh. Our final FSW Tridents are not long for our world ! pic.twitter.com/yT6UXa3VHx

Dartline are indeed coming off Devon CC supported 373 leaving it to struggling Stagecoach alone so that it can cancel even more journeys
ReplyDeleteBelieve the change to Torbay Minibuses 25 is to take it out of Torbay Rd (Paignton's main st) as there are plans to pedestrianize part of the road, looking at the traveline map for the goodrington - morrisons run, from Paignton Harbour it now serves Sands Rd & Dartmouth Rd to get to Torquay Rd not Sea Front & Torbay Rd, routing in other direction unchanged. No change for Stagecoach 122 (open top) though, unless this will carry on for the next few weeks until seasonal withdrawal, be interesting to see how they route it next year
ReplyDeleteNo, Torbay Road is already closed as I saw it yesterday with 122 no longer going anywhere near Paignton seafront which is unfortunate for a seaside open-top service.
DeleteTorbay Road has been pedestrianised from 19th September apparently permanently .
ReplyDeleteWonder which way Stagecoach 122 is going
Is there is any truth in Stagecoach taking over Country Bus route 75
Won on DCC tender so that it can cancel even more services
Delete122 running inland via 12 & 22 route not serving seafront or hotels in either direction.
DeleteThere's no end date for the 122, but as other Torbay timetables are changing from Sunday 2nd October I would expect it to coincide with that.
ReplyDeleteThe fsw tridents being replaced by newer b9tl out of fwoe.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what's happened to Stagecoach's 46 service? It seems to have been quietly axed, although it appears it was planned to be merged with the route 7 as the X7 back last year???
ReplyDeleteThe 46 (and the X64) was withdrawn from 14th April 2019, replaced by routes 7 (Exeter-Totnes), 7A (Exeter-Torquay) and 92 (Totnes-Dartmouth). The 7A only ran at peak times, and was suspended from 30th March 2020 when emergency timetables were introduced at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The route was reinstated on 15th June but was suspended again from 13th July 2020 due to low passenger numbers. It was reinstated on 1st November 2020, but as the X7 following a different route in and out of Exeter and omitting Kingskerswell. The X7 appears not to have been withdrawn formally but its operation became erratic in 2021 due to the driver shortages and the route has not operated at all for some time.
