Devon & Cornwall Transit 2022 Week 40

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.

Quite a bit to cover this last week with a lot more detail on the changes at the end of October by Stagecoach. The odd one out being a very late cancellation coming through for Oakleys 59 that came to an end in August!

PH1020951.237 3 Plymouth Kingsbridge 30-Oct-2022 There will be changes to the way in which Service 3 operates from 30 October 2022, with the service operating as two separate services. Service 3 will operate between Plymouth and Kingsbridge and a new Service 93 will operate between Kingsbridge and Dartmouth.

The frequency of buses will remain the same at up to every 60 minutes Monday to Friday and Saturday daytime on both services, with a limited Sunday and Public Holiday timetable on Service 93 between Kingsbridge and Dartmouth.

A number of departure times are revised, however, where possible school, college and commuter journeys remain largely unchanged.

Customers wishing to make journeys that involve travelling across Kingsbridge, will be able to do so and remain on the same vehicle.  Customers will be able to purchase through tickets for travel across Kingsbridge and the timetable is designed to ensure Services 3 and 93 connect with each other in each direction.

PH1020951.091 13 13C 13D Kingsteignton Brixham 02-Oct-2022 Due to low customer demand, the Service 13 route and timetable are being redesigned to provide a simpler, sustainable service for the future with more unique areas served.
The route will be amended to operate between Brixham and Torbay Hospital only, with the section of route between Torbay Hospital and Kingsteignton withdrawn.  To simplify the route Paignton Bus Station will no longer be served, however, Service 12 will provide an alternative in many cases.
Service 13 will operate every 60 minutes Monday to Friday daytime, with no service at the weekend.
To accommodate staff working at Torbay Hospital, the timetable has been designed to accommodate a pre-0800 arrival and an additional evening return journey at 2015 will be introduced.
School and college journeys will operate as Services 13C, 13D or 53.
