The reason it was suggesting travelling on the Night Riviera was because you could take the Sleeper at 23:25 and arrive Plymouth 23:50 (in the seated area) to change for the first Gunnislake train at 5:05!Transport boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659003135168196011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-21255589704979921902017-05-12T01:44:00.751+01:002017-05-12T01:44:00.751+01:00Exeter will be next with exactly the same issues a...Exeter will be next with exactly the same issues as Derby.

I normally use it around 0900. There are 6 or 7 departures at exactly 0900, which all back off stands at once. As the protocol is that all buses, whether arriving or departing, must give way to those backing off the stands, the potential for chaos is great. But the real problem is the narrow exit and some awful traffic light phasing there; followed by another set of lights on the Cock Pitt Roundabout 50m further on. Result; it is often quicker to walk to the rail station (10 mins) than to get the bus for that distance. The problem has been there since the Bus Stn opened in 2009(?) and the City Council have not addresed it.
