Local bus provider Stagecoach will make several changes to its Exmouth-area timetables from Sunday 2 April.

It comes as the company seeks to improve the punctuality of its bus services.

Stagecoach has warned users to check the new timetables carefully as some departure times may have changed.

Bus timetable changes (from 2 April)

Service 56E (Exmouth Local Service)

All journeys on Service 56E will be re-numbered Service 96, to provide consistency with the daytime service.

Service 57 (Exeter – Brixington via Topsham and Exmouth)

The number of buses between Exeter and Exmouth are doubled with the Monday to Saturday daytime frequency increased from every 30 minutes up to every 15 minutes, plus a number of additional journeys are introduced during the early morning and evening.

The small number of journeys that terminate in Brixington part way round the route will now complete the full loop to maximise journey opportunities. 

Service 58 (Exeter – Exmouth)

Monday to Friday off-peak journeys will now be operated with financial support from Devon County Council. The current 1123 journey from Exmouth to Exeter is re-timed to depart at 1130 and will no longer serve Brixington. The current 1735 journey from Exeter to Exmouth is re-timed to depart at 1750, to ensure an on-time departure. 

Service 95 (Exmouth – Sandy Bay)

The timetable is enhanced for the summer with the frequency increased to every 30 minutes and the route operated with open top double decker buses. Buses will also resume operation on Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays.

For passengers wishing to travel to and from Sandy Bay during the evening, Service 99E will be amended slightly to serve World of Country Life, which is a very short walk from Sandy Bay.

Service 96 (Exmouth – Lympstone)

An additional journey will operate Monday to Saturday at 1810 from Lympstone to Exmouth.

Journeys that currently operate as Service 56E will be re-numbered Service 96 and therefore the Service 96 timetable will include evening and Sunday/ public holiday journeys between the town centre and Bryon Way.

Service 99E (Brixington – Littleham via Exmouth)

All evening journeys will additionally serve World of Country Life, to provide an opportunity to travel to and from Sandy Bay, during hours that Service 95 is not operating.

There are no changes to Sunday and public holiday daytime journeys.
