OBSERVATION AND COMMENT
When I planned the journey to Exminster (Victory Hall) on the number 2, it was in the knowledge that service B also used that particular bus stop with a regular service provision. Have there been changes made that now obviates that?
-Colly405-

The B does still serve there; I'd suggest @ValleyLines142 overlooked it.
With the 2B having become the B2, and then being cancelled, it may well be that there was confusion over the B itself... I know I got caught out last time we went to Exminster!!!

I'm not sure, however I can't see any departures for the B.

Quite a number of stops on this road to choose from, so we walk to stop A and there board the 1625 Stagecoach South West Gold service 12 to Churston (the bus stop opposite Laywell Road on New Road) that arrives there at 1745 on Thursday afternoon.

re the Exminster B, it is odd, as it isn't on Google, but the Stagecoach website shows it running every 30 mins, with a TT dated from last weekend (it forms a 15 min frequency with the 2). V Odd.
Anyway, leaving Exminster behind...
We leave Churston at 1802 on Stagecoach Devon service 13, alighting at Brixham Town Square (stop A) at 1806 on Thursday.

We continue west on Stagecoach South West service GOLD at 2104. Noting that this (and the X38) service's entrance to Plymouth is now via the new Sherford development, rather than Marsh Mills. We therefore alight at Elburton (Reservoir Rd) at 2142 on Thursday.

Remarkably impressed that such a service runs so late going all the way to Cornwall in the evening, it is of no surprise that we remain stranded here for the rest of the night, so we return in the morning for the 0605 Stagecoach South West service 6 to Okehampton (Railway Station), arriving there at 0715 on Friday morning.

We make our way into the station and board the 0725 Great Western Railway service to Crediton that arrives there at 0748 on Friday morning.

Rather spoilt for choice at this location with numerous bus services, so we decide to walk to stop 40 and board the 0845 Country Bus service 359 to Moretonhampstead (Stop A at Court Street Car Park) that arrives there at 0938 on Friday morning.

Remembering not to use today's real-day bank holiday timetables, we leave on Stagecoach South West service E2 at 1102, alighting at Pinhoe Railway Station at 1132 on Friday.

Frustratingly, both services in each direction cross each other and depart two minutes after at 34 minutes past the hour, so we wait for the 1234 South Western Railway service 1L48 to Woking, arriving there at 1515 on Friday afternoon.
