That offer on that particular day is around fifty times cheaper than using the train from Plymouth to Bristol. (Problems at Dawlish can be discussed on other boards!) The Falcon gets a bit of stick from people for being late sometimes and a little unreliable. But it was only a year ago that...

Fair point. In hindsight it was a ridiculous suggestion seeing as Exeter is one the main stops on Falcon. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- The problem is there are not enough Falcon buses to go round to make it every hour from Plymouth and Torquay (let alone the cost)...

Certain journeys could do Buckfastleigh as it is the old a38 so not a bad road, but taking Falcons through Ashburton would be a total nightmare in terms of time and almost a health and safety risk. As for South Brent the Falcon does serve Marley head so a connection could be made there at...

Although the driver was using his initiative in what was clearly a damage limitation situation, did he have the right to go off the route like that? I can see the point of it, why have everyone miss their flights when at least some people will make it. I just wondered how I would feel if I...

Generally passengers travelling up from the south west to the airport are gonna be more concerned about the Falcon turning up than people travelling back after their holiday. So therefore it is vitally important that is starts off from Plymouth dead on time. The continuous back and forth...

The Falcon seems too struggle to keep up with the daytime timetable. Just so much can slow it down between Plymouth and Bristol. Everything from local traffic to motorway problems, tight turnaround schedule, loading luggage, barriers, you name it. I think it is a brilliant idea, just...

A £7.70 day explorer covers the entire Stagecoach Southwest network, including the Falcon from Plymouth to Taunton. Surely Stagecoach could run just one park and ride bus on a loop from Honiton road to meet up with the Falcon times to run people into Exeter city centre up to about midnight.
