    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    It is like the Dartmoor Explorer. That service had great potential if only First actually told people about it!

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Not sure what schools but I believe Stagecoach have picked up several in Eastern Cornwall to be run from Plymouth

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    I always thought Dartmoor Explorer would suit Stagecoach better tbh , having depots and large operations in both Plymouth and Exeter and outstation at Tavistock. It is nice to still have a small First presence in the city though. Could also allow Stagecoach Explorer and Devon Day tickets on...

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Having used Dartmoor Explorer from Plymouth several times last year I hope it returns in 2024 as it did have some good loadings. I don't think it will though sadly. My observations are great service with some brilliant and helpful bus drivers but absolutely awful marketing to the point that...

    Stagecoach South West - Fleet News & Discussion

    Stagecoach to take over Taunton Park and Ride in Somerset from February. Operating out of Tiverton outstation

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Bit risky for First IMO, 'inviting' Stagecoach into Somerset really! Stagecoach already taken over North Devon and Plymouth ops from First in recent years, is Somerset next?

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    It's a pity Stagecoach couldn't expand their offerings in Plymouth area a bit! They have recently taken on some subsidised routes in Plymouth and I believe taken back some Devon services lost to Go Ahead in Tavistock area. Also won some school tenders taking them over into Cornwall.

    Stagecoach South West - Fleet News & Discussion

    New service registered from 30th October in Plymouth. Service 30/31. Royal Parade to Royal Parade via Mannamead and Peverell. Is this a mix of the old 31 and 39 subsidised services withdrawn at start of this year perhaps?

    Go Cornwall Bus

    That's good in as it shows Stagecoach are willing to expand over the Tamar from Plymouth. They also have new 1s school service from Plymouth Southway to Tavistock college I assume to replace a CJ Down service. The 72 and 73s are not part of Cornwall County Council's subsidised network and...

    Go Cornwall Bus

    Yes I don't think First would be interested now but would be great if Stagecoach could take over all these services as they can not really be any worse!

    Go Cornwall Bus

    With a bit of luck yes. I used the Go Cornwall bus network and it was awful (before next months cuts). Cancellations to service 12, 72 and 73 throughout the day. I think Citybus are not interested in the SE Cornwall routes IMO

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Brilliant thanks. It indicates that on Travelline but like to get it direct from First, not 100% confident with Travelline info sometimes!

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Does anyone know where in Plymouth you can pick up Dartmoor Explorer please? Ie does it stop at all stops or just some along Outland Road and Crownhill?

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Many thanks Rich much appreciated

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Is there anywhere I can find this year's Dartmoor Explorer timetable please?

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Brilliant thanks. Sounds good to me. I shall certainly use it from Plymouth

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    That is brilliant. Out of interest do you know if the £2 single fare cap is available on Dartmoor Explorer?

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    To be honest i think it makes much more sense to run it from Plymouth so long as the new timetable gives us more time on the Moor compared to last time! Never really understood why First withdrew from Plymouth and started it at Gunnislake instead tbh

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)
