New bus timetables including new service between Exmouth and Exeter take effect

New Stagecoach timetables, including a new bus between Exmouth and Exeter St Davids and changes to the 57 and 95 services, have come into effect.

The new 58A operates between Exeter St Davids and Exmouth, calling at Brixington, Woodbury, Greendale Business Park, Exeter Airport, Exeter College Technology Centre and Whipton shops.

It follows the award of a tender from Devon County Council. It is hoped the service will provide "new and direct peak-time journey opportunities for commuters and students".

Stagecoach has also added extra journeys at peak times for the 57 service Monday to Friday towards Exeter, as well as an additional and earlier first journey on Sunday and public holidays from Brixington to Exeter at 7.50am, providing an arrival into Exeter before 9am.

The 95 service between Exmouth and Sandy Bay has been reduced to hourly seven days a week and will operate until the end of October half-term, when a further reduced timetable will be introduced.
