Bus Timetable Changes 6A
Bus 6A Exeter – Tedburn St Mary – Whiddon Down – Okehampton
Bus timetable changes with effect from 1st September 2024.
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.
The 0730, 1105 and 1405 journeys from Exeter to Okehampton are withdrawn
The 1230 and 1530 Okehampton to Exeter journeys are withdrawn.
The 0640 Okehampton to Exeter Saturday journey is withdrawn.
The 0847 Whiddon Down – Okehampton Saturday journey is withdrawn.
The 1705 Exeter – Okehampton journey is withdrawn on Saturdays.
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.
All buses are now tracked throughout their journey. This data is used to review the reliability of services and make minor changes to the timetable to address any punctuality issues.
