Changes to the 4-4A-4B bus timetable

A new timetable comes into force on 31st July 2022. Click here for the timetable

Stagecoach have given notice to Devon County Council to end the present service 4 contract.

• Stagecoach will operate a commercial service 4 between Exeter and Cranbrook only, with a twenty-minute Monday – Saturday daytime frequency, thirty minutes during Sunday daytimes and hourly evenings.
• DCC has awarded Stagecoach a tendered contract to operate a revised service covering Exeter – Cranbrook – Ottery St Mary – Honiton – Axminster.  This will be registered as the 44 service.  There will be a two hourly service from Axminster and a combination of one to two services in the hour from Honiton.  It had been hoped to replicate the frequency of the current service, but none of the bus operators had the resource to fulfil this tender option.

How is West Hill Affected?

Most of the times in the daytime are very similar to the present.  However, the last bus to Ottery St Mary and Honiton will now be at 1837 as opposed to 1915 whilst the last bus to Exeter will now be at 1755 – currently it is at 2015.   On a more minor level, the first bus to Exeter is at 0708 as opposed to the current 0657.
