We have enhanced route 39 will some additional trips between Bovey Tracey and Newton Abbot to better suit commuters between these locations.

Service uplift from 14th June 2020
We are pleased to announce that, in light of the recent government announcement to relax retail restrictions, from 14th June 2020 we will be introducing a major uplift to our services with some of our routes returning to their normal timetables.
You will notice some changes on board our vehicles to enable social distancing to take while you travel with us. To allow this to take place safely, some of our seats will be blocked off to allow you to sit at least 2 metres away from other passengers. We are currently closely monitoring our services and adding additional buses in to provide extra capacity when needed and then, by returning to our previous service levels in most cases, this will allow a much better frequency than what is currently in place as we try and keep people moving safely. For more information on travelling safely by bus please visit here
Below you will find a summary of the timetables we will be operating from the 14th June. For some areas, this will mean a return to the timetable you had before the COVID19 outbreak however, some services have more buses than the current emergency timetables but are slightly less frequent than your pre COVID19 timetable and some routes do have a completely new timetable and these are listed below.
Some of these changes have been made in response to changing needs and travel patterns, to allow better connections for shift workers and to improve reliability.
Full details are highlighted below for North Devon, Exeter, Plymouth and Torbay.
New timetables are now available to download for all routes.
Please be aware that Night buses N12, N21 and N57 and dedicated school services (and journeys coded as sch) across our network will not be operating until further notice.
