As you can see there is plenty going on at the moment across Devon. First have made changes for several routes in Plymouth. These are fairly minor tinkering but they do introduce a new 15A and the PR1A is replaced by additional runs on the fairly new 81D. Stagecoach alter their X64 and introduce a ‘new’ route 164 to replace Sundays X64. Filers have a few changes coming up and Countrybus finally start their new services replacing Dartline. Axe Valley make changes to their 889 and 899. Dial a Bus give advance notice for services 60-62 timetable in July.
First Plymouth Route 3 Royal Parade > Devonport > St Budeaux > Honicknowle > Royal Parade
- PH0004983/336 - FIRST DEVON & CORNWALL LTD, THE RIDE, CHELSON MEADOW, PLYMOUTH, PL9 7JT Variation Accepted: Operating between Plymouth Royal Parade and St Budeaux Square given service number 3 effective from 24-May-2015. To amend Route and Timetable.
Service 3 will now serve West Park, Honicknowle, Peverell, Mutley Plain and North Hill on Sundays & public holidays, offering up to a 30 minute frequency. All journeys will now be numbered as service 3 (no more 3As!) There will still be a 10 minute day time frequency of buses between City Centre, Devonport and St Budeaux from Monday to Saturday, with a 20 minute day time frequency for buses between St Budeaux, West Park, Honicknowle, Peverell and City Centre, from Monday to Friday.
3 Plymouth Centre - Devonport - St Budeaux - WestPark – Honicknowle
I can see problems for some passengers getting used to the fact that not all 3’s do the full route!
Its the end of the route number 3A with all journeys now just using route number 3
First Plymouth Route 15 15A Royal Parade > Derriford > Woolwell
- PH0004983/396 - FIRST DEVON & CORNWALL LTD, THE RIDE, CHELSON MEADOW, PLYMOUTH, PL9 7JT Variation Accepted: Operating between Plymouth City Centre and Woolwell, School Drive given service number 15/15A effective from 24-May-2015. To amend Route and Timetable
Evening Monday to Friday journeys between Derriford and The George are being withdrawn due to very poor use. The last 15 bus from Derriford to The George will now depart at 18:29 (the 86 will still operate in the evenings at 04 mins past the hour from Derriford Hospital from 19:04 to 00:04 on weekdays and Saturdays) We are also launching a new day time service 15A between Woolwell and Glenholt via the George Park & Ride site. There are three off peak circular journeys. The Saturday timetable is unchanged.
Its no surprise that the evening shuttles between The George and Derriford are being withdrawn as Target Travel easily saw them off. The new 15A is a surprise though, another in a long line of experiments to serve this difficult area.

It will run at the weekend during school term time and every day during the half term and summer holidays. The service will depart from the A9 stop on Royal Parade every hour from 10am until 6pm (except at 2pm) and return from Bovisand hourly from 10.30am until 6.30pm (except at 1.30pm). Councillor Mark Coker, Cabinet Member for Transport, said: “The Bovisand bus has been really popular and offers families a low-hassle way to enjoy a great day out over the summer, whether they head for the beach or take a walk along the beautiful South West Coast Path.” For more information on the service 54 call 01752 242000.

In The News
A NEW light railway to Brixham and fewer traffic lights in the Bay are two of re-elected Torbay mayor Gordon Oliver's ambitions for the next four years. Mr Oliver has instructed officers to investigate the opportunities to re-introduce a passenger railway between Churston and outer Brixham. It would follow the line of the old steam railway which was closed decades ago. Houses have been built over the line at the Brixham end and the station is long gone. But Mr Oliver believes there is an opportunity to use the former line for a light railway with passenger-only traffic and possibly also a cycle route.
