So lets get the timetables then...
A good place to start will be Target Travels web site
Oh dear - It seems nobody has told them they are now running these routes!
So lets go to Traveline SouthWest which is my preferred choice of timetable for most services anyway:
The services 55 56 and 98 all still show up as Oakley's. Now it is probably the case that the times are the same but it doesn't give you much confidence!
I did eventually find some timetables via the Devon County Council Interactive map
Tomorrow we will have a look at the Target Travel operation on the 55 56 98 services along with a few other recent Target Travel fleet updates.
