Nothing new coming up this week!
Note Bude to Exeter Sunday Citybus 6 & 6A cancelled
ReplyDeleteTaken over by Stagecoach
DeleteSo the 2A and Gold inter works so the bus runs through Saltash - Torquay?
ReplyDeleteSeems that way. Interesting? Can see traffic etc being an issue with that!!
DeleteUnless it is being reinstated, Gold doesn't run to Torquay - it was cut back to Paignton last September.
DeleteWell apart from only going to Paignton nowadays, yes
DeleteStagecoach have now uploaded there changes on line very interesting I must say
ReplyDeleteI see its won the supported 6 from Bude but the local depot is closing drivers say so what depot will operate it, guessing with long dead runs in morning and evening and where or how will driver changes happen in future?
DeleteExeter now runs through to bude again. Assume morning will come from Holsworthy?
DeleteStagecoach changes for September are now on their website.
ReplyDeleteSo all Exeter town services were axed by Stagecoach in the evenings after 7.30pm according to Devon Live & drivers but the council will now instead save them by paying for them to continue as before.
ReplyDeleteThey wasn’t axed them stagecoach asked for help as they wasn’t making any money and DCC said they would help, stagecoach where just going to make the city late service bare minimum
DeleteAnon 13 Aug @ 1312 Bare minimum, only hourly with DCC money? DCC also can't just 'help' Stagecoach by slipping it some money, if the evenings didn't pay then they need deregistering commercially and tendering as contracted services open to all operators to bid for unless you are saying DCC is paying Stagecoach through a deminimis arrangement but there are strict upper limits on how much it can pay an individual operator under such arrangements without formally tendering the work?
DeleteAnonymous 14 August 2023 at 11:52 - Devon County Council has considerable freedom to enhance existing commercial services under "De Minimis" rules and I would expect the Exeter evening enhancements to fall well within scope.
DeleteJulian, they are not evening enhancements but they are bare minimum supported hourly evening services replacing withdrawn commercial ones so Exeter now has no commercial evening city services whatsoever as the others are already supported or withdrawn. I mentioned deminimis in my comment but as I said there is a strict limit per operator & previously DCC was already close to it. Surprising the county town has no commercial evening buses left.
DeleteSame at Dartmouth
ReplyDeleteAnon 12 Aug @ 1821 yes buses not drivers run through. No depot at Holsworthy so are dead runs all way from Barnstaple?
ReplyDeleteHopefully the thru working works better than the 85 where boarding at Barnstaple yesterday the driver refused to confirm we would get to Tavistock as he didn't know if the Tavistock end would come. It did but very poor.
DeletePossibly from Tavistock perhaps?
