Is the Stagecoach timetable wrong?
It appears for continuity the n12 have been added to the normal 12 timetable. It may have lost the N now. The early morning services were n12 when launched,

It runs as N12 at night.

Is 2am, 3am in the night. Yes, or certainly is where I come from
in which case it is strange that the (Stagecoach) timetable makes no mention of an N12. And I suppose that running at midnight, 1 and 2 am then a gap until 0528 does make it a sort of a night bus. Similar gap the other way from Paignton, worse from Brixham, but I guess it is to serve the clubbing crowds who don't stay up all night!

I’m wondering if the N has been dropped? In the summer the gap from 2/3am until 0528 will likely be plugged again as per previous summers.

The 0455 Gold from Plymouth to Paignton is a funny one, some days it can carry good numbers, others the driver has to himself. The same days on different weeks aren’t even consistent. It’s more of a positioning trip as the return working from Paignton at 0620 is a busy one with workers and college students commuting from Torbay to Plymouth, but also the 7am factory shifts in Totnes
