The rail replacement bus that might not turn up because there aren't enough accessible vehicles available. At least everyone will be in your position, I suppose.

IF vehicles used on emergency rail replacement work have to be accessible then that will mean lots of passengers having to wait longer for transport, probably indefinitely in some cases.

Standard service buses are often unsuitable for rail replacement work, especially on long trips, having next to no luggage space and usually rather uncomfortable compared to a coach, and that's if you can find enough to do the work!

The Green route runs from Sowton to Matford, encompassing the former Blue P&R route, this changed happened a while ago now. However the E300s now have Cummins engines fitted due to reliability issues with the MAN units. Maybe at some point along the line but for now the diagrams are set up...

I know someone who still refers to Network Rail as Railtrack, despite numerous corrections! The aforementioned Virgin CrossCountry misconception is certainly still quite widespread here in the South West.

As someone who does exactly that job now, I have to say that the female toilets are in a far better state than the male ones by the end of the working day, with the exception of a lot more unused paper being dropped on the floor in the ladies. It helps that sanitary bags and bins are provided...

Finally, a little bit of common sense and perception! One would think we lived in a completely lawless society from the opinions of some of the posters above. We are all far more likely to die in an accident at home than by being stabbed by one of the 'countless' knife wielding maniacs who...

That's very much a matter of opinion. Personally I think updating the livery would be change for change's sake.

Feet being placed on seats doesn't affect my decision on where to sit at all, but I still think it's a a filthy thing to do, it seems some people are just far too special to travel on public transport with their feet on the ground.

Devon General liveried E400/Scania WA13 GDX (15893) has been transferred to Exeter and was operating on route 5A to Hatherleigh this morning. 15901 has gone to Torquay in its place.

Generally tickets valid for a week or longer are affordable - it's singles and returns that are out of proportion, so it's the occasional bus users who are affected more than daily commuters.

Those M31/M38 changes happened a while ago now - well over a year.

Exeter has a fair few Toyota Auris hatchbacks running around as Hackney cabs.

First Kernow not selling/accepting Ride Cornwall until further notice: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2434669173262458&id=630732460322814&sfnsn=mo

It'll be a sn-ap type operation I expect.

I've experienced similar in that location myself recently - though perhaps not as bad as the driver didn't cut the power and the other passengers didn't seem too bothered - maybe they've just got used to it by now!

It's unpleasant, nothing more. Must say that XC's Voyagers do seem somewhat better these days, although not always whiff free!

Lots of people like to make this statement but I don't think it's true - both from personal experience and also Exeter doesn't feature highly in most lists of 'most congested' cities.

On a similar note the last time I caught the GWR sleeper to London from Exeter, it was running significantly late (about an hour) - the guard who would work the train from Exeter checked our tickets in the waiting room prior to the train's arrival, but without any apology for the day or even a...

Good to see increased service levels for Cranbrook - on a few occasions I've seen buses on the 4 filled to capacity.
