Bigbury Bus Blues

Back in January Tally Ho! Coaches announced they were giving up a few of their services due to lack of drivers:

Devon County Council have been responding to the news that Tally Ho are giving up four bus routes as a result of their inability to find enough drivers.

The routes are SH160 is the Kingsbridge town service and the SH162 runs between Kingsbridge, Loddiswell, Thurlestone and Hope Cove, the SH612 Mothecombe to Lee Mill Tesco (Tuesdays only) and the SH875 Bigbury to Plymouth bus station (Fridays only). A spokesperson for Devon County Council told us: “We can confirm that Tally Ho has handed back two contracts for four subsidised bus services (services which they currently support financially) with effect from March 31 2023. https://www.kingsbridge-today.co.uk/news/possible-timetable-changes-to-bus-routes-affected-by-non-renewal-of-contracts-589032

This was then followed up by the BBC a few days ago…

Users of a discontinued bus service between a village and a city have criticised it being shelved.

The weekly 875 from Bigbury on Sea to Plymouth was operated by Tally Ho for Devon County Council until Friday, but the company has handed back the contract, blaming a lack of drivers. Former passengers said the 20-mile (35km) link had been lifeline. The council said it had not been able to find another operator, but had put in place some alternatives.

Tally Ho said it had "advertised extensively" for drivers for a year but it had "not been able to solve the problem". It said: "In recent months, the pressures have become intolerable and we simply cannot continue. There is no other reason for our decision." Devon County Council said it had not been able to find another operator, but alternatives were in place, including a taxi scheme to the town of Modbury, where passengers could travel on to Plymouth.

The lack of drivers seems to be a bigger threat to rural bus services than actual funding at the moment.

Today we have a few more service changes registered:

Taw & Torridge Coaches Ltd

  • A small change for 658 which sees the return journey running 40 minutes later on Tuesdays.

The ex Lothian and Ensign Dart's are receiving attention for return to service, 43904-6 are SK52OJF SK52OKD SK52OKF all now in the new FG12 Kernow livery although they may not have full fleet names yet

The repaint program in full swing now with these also reported in the new livery: 43904 43905 43906 69222

(As is often the case many, if not all of these enter service with no proper fleetnames!)

20561 TT07TRU is now in a two tone blue livery for Newells Travel. (Flickr Link)

As we have already mentioned there are a lot of buses coming into the fleet over the coming weeks to replace all the non DDA fleet:

10 Volvo B7TL/ Alexander are due from Manchester with 30871 30872 30874 30876 30879 all confirmed arrived in Cornwall so far. Another 8 are due from West Yorkshire. When Devon closes down they are expecting 38 DDs , 3 Solos and 3 Darts to join the Kernow fleet. There may also be some DDs from Bristol. There are also the 20 narrow Darts / Caetano buses due.

The local fleet list has been updated for First up to the latest PSV Circle new sheets which as seen quite a few disposals confirmed over the last few months including 23204 31457 31458 34068 34171 34188 34189 34219 40038 40580 40598 41156 42207 42459 42634 42834 42844.
