PH1020951.011	12	Newton Abbot	Brixham	26-May-2024	Following a comprehensive review of our popular Service 12, there will be a number of significant changes to the timetable, which are designed to better match passenger demand. There will be changes to the frequency of buses on Service 12, supplemented by buses running between Regent Close, Torquay and Brixham. Monday to Friday daytimes buses will run every 15 minutes between Newton Abbot and Brixham, supplemented by buses between Torquay and Brixham every 15 minutes providing a combined 7/8 minute frequency along the busiest section of route.

There will be no changes to the frequency of buses on Sunday and Public Holidays, with buses continuing to operate every 20 minutes during the main part of the day.

As a result, the frequency of buses daily after 1900 until the end of service will be reduced from every 20 minutes to every 30 minutes. In addition, the night journeys introduced last May on a trial basis will be withdrawn as they have not proved to be commercially viable.
