Although its not easy to find exactly what has changed as neither the company or Torbay Council seem to have published this as far as I can see, they have published some excellent leaflets with timetables for the services as from 1st April

They have produced some smart timetables with maps which are nice and clear as seen by 108 109

As always click through on the licence numbers above to get the route history with the update timetables and maps.

The 61 and 65 replace existing services 60 and 65 as noted by Torbay Today

It's the end of the line for two unique subscription community bus services which pick up their last passengers today (Wednesday 27 March) and tomorrow (Thursday 28 March). Since commercial operators withdrew over six years ago, Ourbus Torbay, a division of Torbay Communities, has been running two scheduled services: the 61 and 65. In 2019, the 61 bus, which runs between Livermead in Torquay and the town centre via St Lukes, was believed to be the first community scheduled service in the country to be run using a subscription service committing passengers to paying weekly by direct debit. Ourbus Torbay will now concentrate on organised day trips and the commercial operators will take over the 60 and 65 services. Praise and thanks for the service has been building all week on Facebook including Val Baket who said: “Well done for keeping this service running with volunteers, I know how difficult it has been for you”
