The changes to 501 and 504 are mainley to spread out headway for this 503 service. 502 looks like summer saturday service to bude been dropped and 1 of the westwood ho services now starts/terminates at bideford. The 501/502 also got changes around somerset as what could of been a 501 last week a be a 502 this week for example. 330 only change aware off is the service like all nx services will stop at st erth hub and not the lamb and flag no change to crowles. 324 hasent done huddeafield for about 10 months since it changed operator only change is paignton stop.
ReplyDeleteThe 502 change is more significant, particularly from an operations point of view. The historic service has always been 3 round trips a day from North Devon to London and back. In summer there was often a 4th return trip starting earlier from London to north Devon and back later.
ReplyDeleteThat has now changed. The first 2 journeys from North Devon now run an hour later to London and (potentially) return as the 2nd and 3rd departures from London, after a longer layover. The 3rd journey to London and the 1st journey from London no longer return the same day. Thus all journeys from London run about 2 hours earlier. The service is contracted to Edwards Coaches at Bristol and may well inter-work with one of their other routes.
The nd drivers do an overnight in penzance on 1 of there duties as they take the 330 down
