The funding has now been reduced, and as such, revised timetables will be implemented to match a sustainable level of financial support.

In addition there will be a two-hourly direct Service 20 via Marsh Mills; targeted on the busiest journeys. We will continue to operate the 06.00 and 07.00 journeys from Royal Parade are retained Monday to Friday. These will continue to serve Sandy Road, but no longer Langage Industrial Estate. Saturday timetable is revised and will start later than the Monday to Friday timetable and finish earlier.

Service 20B Sunday and Bank Holiday morning journey revised to run ten minutes earlier, with additional running time throughout to improve timekeeping.

More to follow?

I must admit I am surprised there have been no new notices this week as I July is often the busiest month for new notices. Over the last two years July 2023 was the busiest month with July 2024 looking like it might even beat it. July 2023 saw nearly 50 notices for Devon & Cornwall while we are on just 12 so far this year.  So I would expect to see local notices coming through shortly.

Having said all that, August last year was by far the busiest for Devon & Cornwall with over 150 published so I am expecting another busy summer!
