Plymothian Transit: Devon Transit 041

Welcome to Devon Transit 041

With another big issues this week, its hard to believe that this post could / should probably be even bigger. The large number of new notices detailed below were all posted online two weeks ago. For some reason there have been no new posts for any region in the country for the whole of last week which suggests there is a problem somewhere in the system at the moment as I cant believe that no changes have been lodged anywhere in the country for a whole week!

The two main highlights are a large number of service changes for Plymouth Citybus from the 4th September and then Stagecoach Devon have even more for the 5th September, mostly in the Exeter area.

The other comment I would make is that its getting harder than ever to find information on services changes. There are a few services changing this weekend for Stagecoach who dont seem in any hurry to publish details on their web site, or at least anywhere you can actually find them. The 223 changes from Countrybus to Target Travel this weekend, hopefully the regular passengers are being told because neither company mention it anywhere on their sites either. I am not suprised at Target Travel but Countrybus seem to be better organised on their web site, but not this time.

Graham - the stuff is there on VOSA but there looks to be a problem with the security settings on the site. I've found it works if you type in "www.tan.gov.uk" manually and then follow the usual links.
Anonymous26 July 2016 at 09:45
now that 50/50a sound good, guessing they will add the branding to say derriford, estover, city center, holly park, derriford... but nice to see the 43 back aswell but i wonder if there will be a flash route for that one still, would seem funny to see it once a flash route 50 back to a normal route
Anonymous26 July 2016 at 15:49
the change to the 50 does sound good, but i wonder if all the yellowflash buses they already have is enough for the route both ways?

Have something interesting to say? Please share it here!
