First Devon & Cornwall have produced a very handy little booklet for buses serving Derriford:
”We've created a great new guide to bus routes serving Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.
Between them services 15, 84 and 86 provide up to 5 buses an hour between Plymouth City Centre, Mutley Plain, Crownhill and Derriford Hospital. Included in the guide are timetables for all these services shown as one timetable: this means passengers don't need to look through separate timetables for each of the services to see what time bus you need to catch.
For ease of use timetables for journeys between Plymouth City Centre, Mutley Plain, Crownhill and Derriford Hospital are shown with the pink background. Journeys on services past Derriford Hospital are shown in yellow - we've included the main points on these routes for our passengers convenience in case they need to travel further after their time at the Hospital.
As a reminder these services run to:
- Service 15: Mainstone - Asda - Estover - Thornbury - University College Marjon - Derriford Hospital - Crownhill - Mutley Plain - North Road East* (for Plymouth train station) - City Centre.
- Service 84: Tavistock - Whitchurch - Yelverton - Woolwell (for Tesco) - University College Marjon - Derriford Hospital - Crownhill - Mutley Plain - City Centre.
- Service 86: Tavistock - Bishopsmead - Yelverton - Woolwell (for Tesco) - University College Marjon - Derriford Hospital - Crownhill - Mutley Plain - City Centre. *Serves North Road East on in bound journeys only. Outbound serves North Hill for University of Plymouth.
The guide also includes a pull out map of the routes and details of where to catch the bus within the Hospital grounds. Please click here to view/download the new guide as a pdf. Copies are also available from the Derriford Hospital main entrance on level 6. Derriford hospital bus service guide

This represents one of the things that First have been missing...books with all timetables together.. Little things go a long way to improve the image at First I feel!
