After a few weeks with very little service registration activity we have had a small flurry of registrations for Devon services.

The 88 group of services are currently registered under Stagecoach (PH1020951.005) so presumably we will see those getting cancelled some time soon. The 271 also transfers from Stagecoach to Country Bus although their registration already existed having last changed back in 2018. Notice that this is from this weekend!
I wouldn't normally post the new park & Ride service from Dartline which is here for completeness more than anything else in case anyone wonders why there is a gap in their registration numbers!
I expect there will be a few more changes from September to come…
Yes Graham lots more from early September, just not public yet!
ReplyDeleteHopefully good changes
ReplyDeleteProbably be the normal winter change s
ReplyDeleteLike what
ReplyDeleteDartmoor explorer is meant to start this weekend but it has been removed on their website?
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely running but with single deckers due to tree issues. Unfortunately the lack of advertising/ information seems sadly typical of First again lately.
DeleteDartline is using red Go Devon Pointer Darts on its service PR3 (RD&E Park and Ride) service in Exeter. This has been happening since the mid-Devon routes reverted to Stagecoach. It make a change from the small white Solos it was using previously (including one that was branded for a service linking cathedral and station in Durham).
ReplyDeleteThey need them for capacity as some days they run it with knly 3 buses now with 2 being singles.
DeleteOops! The bus type should, of course, be Enviro 200.
DeleteWhat are Country Bus using on the Dartmoor 271 from Newton Abbot dumped by Stagecoach which used a tiny Mercedes Sprinter van?
