Changes in Okehampton buses


Stagecoach have announced changes in bus timetables that affect Okehampton for this September onwards

6 Okehampton – Holsworthy – Bude

Timetable revised to accommodate a later finish time at Budehaven School.
Timetable has minor changes to reflect punctuality data.

6A Exeter – Tedburn St Mary – Whiddon Down – Okehampton

Stagecoach has given notice on the contract that provided additional journeys between Okehampton and Exeter, funded by the Bus Service Improvement Plan grant from the Department for Transport.  Having reviewed the costs of a new contract and the low number of passengers using these journeys, it is unfortunately not possible to continue them.

An additional journey at 1305 from Exeter to Okehampton is introduced.
The 0930 Okehampton to Exeter will start from West Street instead of the Bus Station.
Route to the City Centre is revised to use the new bus lane next to John Lewis and Sidwell Street instead of Longbrook Street and York Road, with the timetable revised to reflect this.

6B Tavistock – Okehampton

New service providing one journey each way between Tavistock and Okehampton Monday – Friday.
Journeys will continue to and from Exeter as service 6A.

5A Exeter – Crediton – North Tawton – Hatherleigh - Okehampton

Timetable is reduced to operate every two hours between Crediton and North Tawton.
Afternoon peak departures are revised to accommodate Exeter College students.
All journeys will now operate a through service from Exeter to Okehampton, removing the need to change in North Tawton on some journeys.
