  1. The SB6 change includes rerouting via Fowey Avenue in Shiphay, as a very limited replacement for the 35A/35C which was diverted away from this area in May.

    1. Seemingly reduced to only 3 days a week + doesn't serve town centre either!

  2. The First Exmoor Coaster 'seasonal route & timetable variation' appears formalising the fact it is completely missing out Lynton on all trips (despite its timetable leaflet/Buses of Somerset timetable book suggesting otherwise and vehicle livery including both Watchet & Lynton which aren't served) as highlighted by Roger French Bus & Train User on his blog of 10 June 2023. Clearly a late decision and some passengers were seen waiting in Lynton where no notice advised them otherwise until a Filers driver mentioned the bad news.
