The links on Target Travel site still display the old timetables (with a nice big image promising a new web site in 2015!). You could try entering 53 in the timetable search box…

Target Travel search 53

apparently it only works for routes with 3 characters - whilst most of their routes only have 2!

In The News

RESIDENTS in Aller have said that it is incredibly lucky that no-one has been seriously injured after another double-decker bus collided with a tree branch in the estate. While work is being undertaken on the South Devon Highway, the no.12 and the x46 buses have been diverted through the Aller estate. The latest incident on Wednesday saw the front metal bar of the bus bent from the impact and damage to the windscreen and fibreglass body of the bus, which knocked the 12ft branch 30ft up the road.

  1. from the 1st march the 46/47 and school buses will see the ex plymouth citybus double deckers in brand new livery running the routes, they might not be out dead right away but thats when they should start, as at the moment ex pcb 423 is out in service doing the 46/47 and schools, and can be seen in estover and southway for the free tesco bus too... i did ask a driver today who also said that they could see service a week after the 1st

    2. Weird. Target Travel Ltd isn't even their name. It's hardly surprising really that people struggle to find it when they're using the name of a company that doesn't exist!
