It seems most of the August changes are now behind us, though a few odds and ends are still trickling through. This past week has been pleasantly quiet, with just three new notices in my daily feeds.
Only one of these (679) relates to August. First, Hants & Dorset have announced new timetables for the X51-X53 services, and we’ve also had an early November notice from Stagecoach cancelling the 60. It would be unusual if this were just a one-off change on that date, so perhaps we can expect a few more adjustments in November for the Torbay area.
| Licence | Route | Start Point | End Point | Effective | Notes | Operator |
| PH1020951.426 | 60 | Preston Sandringham Gardens | Hyde Road | 01-Nov-2026 | CANCELLED | STAGECOACH DEVON LTD |
| PH0006159.414 | X51 (X53) | Bridport Coach Station | Axminster Rail Station | 20-Sep-2026 | Running times amended on the X51 and X53 services and some evening and weekend trips removed for the winter level of service. The LB1 is due to finish after 26th September, although there are ongoing discussions with Lyme Regis Town Council as to whether this will be extended. | FIRST HAMPSHIRE & DORSET LIMITED |
| PH0005305.065 | 679 | Beech Hill | Exeter Bus Station | 30-Aug-2026 | Service withdrawn. Customers from Black Dog and Kennerleigh will be able to catch revised service 369 instead. | DEALTOP LIMITED |
The 60 covers quite a bit of Torquay but seems to be a one bus operation with just 4 round trips a day. I would imagine it is just being transferred to another operator under tender?
