Stagecoach South West introduces timetable changes across East Devon, which will be effective from Sunday November 3. 

This Autumn local bus operator Stagecoach South West are introducing changes to some bus services within the region.

Stagecoach says the changes include some /reliability and punctuality improvements' as well as new tendered services in partnership with Devon County Council. Night buses also return in North Devon and Torbay for the festive period from the end of November.

Exeter.

Service 4 (University of Exeter / Exeter St Davids – Cranbrook via City Centre)

The new Service 4, introduced on 1 September 2024 extending to the University of Exeter, has proved very popular, however, they are aware that a number of buses at peak times Monday to Friday are often running late due to traffic volumes.

In order to offer a reliable and punctual service there will be some changes to the timetable, especially at peak times Monday to Friday, with additional vehicle resource allocated to allow buses more time to complete their journeys and ensure they can start their next journey on time.

Service 358 will arrive and depart from Sidwell Street as opposed to Exeter Bus Station.

Service Matford Brook Academy (Exminster – Matford Brook Academy) – Monday 14 October 2024

From Monday 14 October 2024 the current closed contract service between Exminster and Matford Brook Academy, will become a public local bus service, where fares will be charged. On Monday to Fridays during term time there will be a journey from Exminster to Matford Brook Academy at 0805 and a journey from Matford Brook Academy to Exminster at 1610 (departs 1410 on Friday).

Exmouth.

Service 95 (Exmouth – Sandy Bay) - Service 95 will end for the 2024 season, returning next year for the 2025 season.

Service 358 (Exeter – Otterton) - Following a recent tender round, Service 358 will no longer be operated by Stagecoach.
