Odds and Ends from a quiet week

It’s been pretty quiet on the service registration front, with only a few changes coming through over the past week. We’ve got the seasonal service 171 from Country Bus starting in July, Stagecoach running a one-day Park & Ride shuttle at Lynmouth, and Hatch Green updating the timetable for the 382 as of last week. Lastly, there’s a cancellation from First South West, which is likely just an admin update, as I’m fairly sure it stopped back in February along with the others.

  1. The 171 timetable is already on the Country Bus website, it's a morning journey Newton Abbot to Tavistock and an afternoon return, with a Tavistock-Moretonhampstead and return in the middle. Interestingly the route between Newton Abbot and Moretonhampstead is via Kingsteignton, Chudleigh Knighton then up the Teign Valley to Doccombe. Connections to and from Exeter are advertised with route 359 at Moretonhampstead. The 172 via Ashburton isn't running this year.

    End of road closure. Return to normal timetable and end of emergency diversion, which has run for 3 months or so.

    1. ED03 wasn’t related to Eden Sessions. It was an education related contract running AM & PM only during term time.
