Now Stagecoach are offering very cheap fares from Ivybridge to Plymouth, and doubling the Gold service gives them parity with Citybus on the fast route (better, in fact, if you add the two-hourly X38 from Exeter).<br />I am surprised - but impressed - that the Dartmouth service has not been "de-Golded" now that it is a separate service.PHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696494987405853972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-88071337692679261472014-06-28T10:24:47.555+01:002014-06-28T10:24:47.555+01:00I think the root problem is the connection time in...I think the root problem is the connection time in Totnes - at just three minutes, it is too short for Traveline (which requires 4 or 5 mins minimum, I recall).<br />It works in the other direction, as the connection is 10 mins, but only if "least interchange" is selected - otherwise, the journey planner route is via the Kingswear ferry, as this knocks half-an-hour off the journey.<br />Mind you, the Stagecoach journey planner thinks you don't need to change at all...Man of Kentnoreply@blogger.com
