I wonder if this means that First's X53 will finally be withdrawn between Axminster and Exeter, and if there will be changes to Axe Valley Travel services in the area?

Bit by bit, the old Devon General numbers are coming back - so far we have 2 (Newton Abbot vis the coast), 4 (Honiton and Axminster), 5 (Crediton and onwards - although the historical number for Crediton was 7), 6 (Okehampton and onwards), 9 (Sidmouth), 12 (NA - Torquay - Brixham) - so maybe the Tiverton service will become 3 and possibly Cullompton 27, with 10 for Exmouth to Sidmouth. <br /><br />How about Stagecoach doing the same for Plymouth and bringing back the 83 and the 93?Keithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-59284958639411939342016-03-08T09:09:56.353+00:002016-03-08T09:09:56.353+00:00The comment under the Appledore article suggests t...The comment under the Appledore article suggests that there is a bus at the disputed time. It's a shame that the paper couldn't get a comment from Stagecoach. If that's the case, it's all a complete waste of everybody's time. It does, however, show the pointlessness of petitions for such complaints - 150 people signing for the reinstatement of one bus journey. Clearly they're not all using it, or there would be duplicate buses running, so what is Stagecoach (or anyone) supposed to take from that?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
