Further Reading

Bude and Holsworthy are set to lose their near-daily bus route when a new enhanced Stagecoach South West timetable comes into play at the beginning of April. The route between Barnstaple and Tavistock will be enhanced but at the cost of the Bude to Holsworthy service. From Sunday, April 2, local bus operator Stagecoach South West will be introducing a number of timetable changes across their network, which are predominantly centered around improving the punctuality of their bus services.
