This made whole point of Discovery useless as no return trip either. Nothing on twitter to advise not run. Decided on trip to Tavistock. Next Stagecoach 1 sailed passed nis and empty. After a long wait single decker with standing load appeared, why they can they not use DD when they know they are short of drivers?
