Plymothian Transit: Devon Transit 069

Another massive collection, with several operators introducing their winter timetables. Plymouth Citybus are not making a lot of changes this time (in Devon at least) but have still not (as at Sunday 20th) actually released details of these changes on their web site**. Filers Travel cancel their 300 and 301 services. First Wessex make cuts to their Jurassic Coaster services out of Exeter (although have yet to officially announce the changes on the web site either). National Express have a couple of entries below, but nothing to see there! This leaves Stagecoach with the bulk of the changes below - and full marks to them for having all the details on their web site in plenty of time for all to see.

** At the last minute Plymouth Citybus have published details of the changes - unfortunately in the form of a large pdf poster which isn't the easiest to read or copy from! Details now added below

From 3 September we are making changes to our Plymouth bus services, the first significant revamp of our services since we took over a number of routes from First Devon & Cornwall in September 2015.Key benefits of the changes are:
Improved frequencies and links to Derriford Hospital
Buses to Tavistock every 15 minutes.
Many of the changes are possible because of the new bus priority infrastructure in and around Derriford Hospital. This means we can run all of our 1, 100 and 101 bus services via the Hospital. There will be buses up to every 7-8 minutes between the Hospital and city centre and buses up to every 15 minutes between Hospital and The George and Milehouse Park & Ride sites. There will also be a direct all day service between Plymouth Station and Derriford Hospital.
All 1 service buses will now run every 15 minutes on the same route from Tavistock through Marjons, Derriford Hospital and Mutley to the city centre. Anyone travelling from Tavistock to the railway station can change at the Hospital and board either the 100 or 101 which will go from the same stop. Alternatively, they can continue their journey on the 1 and walk the short distance from Mayflower Street.

Pinhoe will be served by the newly extended routes B and F2, offering new links to Morrisons, Stoke Hill, Cowick Street and Exwick. The 1 service will continue to serve the main road every 20 minutes.
The frequency to the Rydons will increase from every 30 to every 20 minutes. This is in response to growth along the route and in anticipation of the new IKEA store opening early 2018.

From Monday to Friday buses on routes R and S will both run at a 12 minute frequency across the day. On Sundays, the frequency on both routes will be increased from every 30 to every 20 minutes.

I see that PCB changes list that the service 5 and all variations will now be operated with red buses, while Efford and Laira services 8&9 are to be rebranded Green Flash. No mention of service 4 being operated with red buses though, nor a mention about the 23/24 being rebranded. Given that 4's and 5's, and 8/9's and 23/24's interwork, is this likely to be an oversight, or are the two services being split?
Assuming they split, 4's and 8/9s interworking? Is there a demand for an Efford to Plymstock service?!

I personally really like the investment from GA in Plymouth, coupled with the better standards of vehicles brought to Plymouth with Stagecoach, I think the public transport scene in the City is better now than I remember it ever being in my life time. A life long enthusiast of PCB, I must say that I do think there has been very little thought with Flash routes. The only one that remains the same now as when introduced is the 21/A, although they did unsuccessfully mess with this once up on a time too.

I'm no transport guru, but surely the most sensible thing to do in the eye of the company and passenger, would be to find a successful service and then invest, not invest and hope for success...

Although... perhaps the investment and enhancement is to encourage more custom, when the custom comes and the investment has paid off, redeploy better resource and chance custom from another area?

The new timetables for First routes X51, X52 and X53 (plus all their Dorset routes) and now available on their website: www.firstgroup.com/uploads/news-attach/Dorset_Winter_2017_Web.pdf

The X51 (Axminster-Dorchester) and X53 (Axminster-Weymouth) each go to two-hourly, with a combined hourly service between Axminster and Bridport. Additional journeys operate at peak times and on schooldays. The Sunday X51 is withdrawn after 24th September but the X53 continues on a two-hourly frequency.

The X52 (Bridport-Exeter) is drastically reduced (again) and now consists of just two Monday-Saturday return journeys between Lyme Regis and Exeter only, departing Lyme Regis at 09.30 and 11.30 and returning from Exeter at 11.20 and 13.20. Quite honestly, with Stagecoach 9a now covering pretty much all of this route on an hourly frequency and with Axe Valley Travel 899 providing an alternative service for Beer, I don't know why First are even bothering!

Have something interesting to say? Please share it here!
