From Sunday 22nd February we're making some changes to our existing X9/X10 bus service. These have come about following Western Greyhound's decision to withdraw the 510. Since we first learned of this we've been working closely with both Devon and Cornwall County Councils to see how we could ensure local residents still have access to a regular, reliable bus service. Key points of the new service are: Our Bude - Holsworthy - Okehampton - Exeter route to be renumbered from X9 to 6

Our Launceston - Okehampton - Exeter route to be renumbered from X10 to 6A

The 6A will operate Monday to Saturday when there will be 4 journeys from Launceston to Exeter and 5 back plus there will also be one return journey on Sundays and Bank Holidays

Why the change to 6/6A? Well, 6 was the number used by Devon General for its service to Okehampton between 1930s and 1970s. The new service brings all services between Exeter and Okehampton into one timetable giving season Stagecoach ticket holders more journey choices, and a “new” number seemed like a good way to highlight this!
