PH1020951.291   9W Exeter St Davids Station Westpoint 03-Nov-2019 On presentation of an advance ticket, the bearer will be entitled to the discounted return fare with Stagecoach on the 9W buses from Exeter. These buses will be running every 15 - 20 minutes from...

Please note above that the 9W bus will stop in bay 7 at the Bus Station and not in Cheeke Street as earlier indicated. In addition, the normal 9 service will run in parallel with the 9W, starting from the Bus Station.

After this time you can still catch the normal 9 Service from just outside Westpoint. The £2.00 return ticket will be valid on the normal 9 service as well, but only after the 9W buses have finished.

    1. are you sure? I know that EY do have 11 brand new E400 -entering service now - but these are not the E400 City version which Citybus have ordered

      Delete
    2. Those were announced ages ago as E400 MMCs with Customised interiors. It's not the 11 E400Citys which are due for Citybus in December.

    3. on the subject of new buses, i was reading the Sustainability reports for Citybus and interesting to see the fleet had 60% Euro 5/6 buses in 2018, but now has 55% in 2019. Is this because of the MAN EcoCity buses?

  2. They've already announced publicly that they will be coming November/December. And they're not MMCs.

    1. Will be interesting to see if they have WA or YX plates. Most new ADL buses this year have had YX plates.

      Delete
    2. Depends if they built in yorkshire or falkirk or pcb register them themselves

      Delete
    3. Lots of rumours flying around saying 63 plate E400s are moving into Cornwall once new Citys arrive. Not sure how well that works for some Cornwall routes... The 11/A in particular.

  5. Citybus have always had local W.. regns so far so hopefully this continues this year.

  6. Well, Ant, double deckers can't access Bodmin Parkway Station, the bridge is far too low, surely?
