They will continue under Target Travel's new licence until 21st December, from which date the registrations have been cancelled. New operators (which could possibly still include Target Travel) will be announced by Devon County Council towards the end of November.

Just to sum up:

- Transferring from Target Travel to Stagecoach South West from Monday 29th October (Plymouth City Council contracts):

7D (renumbered 17), City Centre-Hooe
13 City Centre-Saltash Passage
18 City Centre-Elburton
19 City Centre-Plympton
31 City Centre-Pennycross
39 City Centre-Crownhill (to be incorporated into route 52)
52 Plympton-Derriford Hospital, extended to Crownhill then to City Centre via route 39
223 (renumbered 32) St Budeaux local service

Plymouth CityBus route 14 (City Centre-Derriford Hospital via Devonport) also transfers to Stagecoach South West from the same date

- Staying with Target Travel until 21st December, new operators to be announced by Devon County Council in November:

What will happen to the football buses operated in conjunction with Plymouth Argyle home games (PA1/2/2a/3) is not yet known.
