PH1020951.086 1 1A Exeter Bus Station Tiverton Bus Station 20-Apr-2025 There are a number of changes to the route and timetable of Service 1/1A as the timetable is re-designed to better reflect demand and improve journey times.

Service 1 will become the primary route and will operate up to every 15 minutes following the direct route between Exeter and Cullompton via Whipton, Pinhoe and Broadclyst, which will not serve Bradninch, however, will operate via Swallow Way in Cullompton.
Service 1A will operate up to every 60 minutes between Exeter and Tiverton serving Brandninch, Cullompton, Willand and Halberton.
These changes will mean that there is a co-ordinated 15 minute frequency with a clockface timetable in both directions along the entire route between Exeter and Cullompton.
The frequency of buses serving Bradninch will be reduced, however, this better reflects demand, while ensuring a direct service to Exeter, Cullompton and Tiverton is maintained.
While there are minor changes to journeys serving schools and colleges, all existing journeys are retained.
Journeys during the evening and all day on Sunday and Public Holidays will be numbered Service 1A.
