PH1020951.044 A Alphington, Smithfield Road Exeter Bus Station 14-Apr-2024 Timing changes are introduced each day to improve reliability and punctuality.

In line with passenger demand on Saturday morning, buses will run every 40 minutes between 0525 and 0805, then every 20 minutes until 0905 and then every 15 minutes throughout the day.
PH1020951.029 H St David's Train Station RD & E Hospital and Digby 14-Apr-2024 Timing changes are introduced each day to improve reliability and punctuality.
PH1020951.105 P Crossmead Pennsylvania 14-Apr-2024 Timing changes are introduced each day to improve reliability and punctuality.

To ensure a reliable and punctual timetable can be operated, the frequency of buses during the main part of the day Monday to Saturday will be adjusted to every 35-40 minutes.

Following requests and feedback from passengers, the route of Service P will be amended from 14 April 2024.

From Exeter St Thomas, towards Crossmead, buses will operate a one-way clockwise loop via Cowick Street, Dunsford Hill, Barley Lane, Barley Farm Road, Berkshire Drive, Charnley Avenue, Isleworth Road, Buddle Lane, Okehampton Road and Buller Road before returning to current at Cowick Street. The new route for Service P will see the service reinstated to Charnley Avenue, Isleworth Road, Buddle Lane, Okehampton Road and Buller Road.

As a result of the new route, Bowhay Lane will no longer be served, however, alternative bus stops are available nearby on Dunsford Road (Services 6A and 360) or Berkshire Drive (Service P).



As usual click through for full details, including timetables when they have been added. There are a lot to process over the coming weeks so watch this space. There will be a full run down of all the April changes nearer the time.

Meanwhile following on from comments left here over the last few days about the routing of the 30/31 service in Plymouth from 14 April here are the new maps from Traveline. There are a couple of slight glitches but you can clearly see the new routes.

    1. SCSW are getting a load of new solos for Exeter & Torbay soon. It's about time Stagecoach started investing in Devon again.

    2. It's only ten Solos, which won't even replace all the 20 year old 04-plates on a one for one basis.. but it's a start! Quite a few mid-life E200s, E300s and a couple of coaches have arrived in recent weeks but none of that will really do much to help the overall fleet age profile.

  3. Devon have won £5.3 million and Torbay £7.1 million in the second round of the ZEBRA programme for electric buses, so presumbably a large number of new electric buses coming for Stagecoach.
