@StagecoachSW Will the C6 dedicated college bus be running again from okehampton to Exeter when the new term begins this week, to prevent inevitable overcrowding on the 6 and 6A service?
@StagecoachSW Hi Jane, do you have an update for me? I’ve just looked again at the additional college bus service and can see that the 3.40 only goes to tedburn? No wonder I can’t get on the public bus most days, as 99% of passengers are going to Okehampton? Seems ridiculous!
@StagecoachSW Thank you for your understanding. Yes it’s just the return journeys I am struggling with, as I catch the 6.40am bus to Exeter from Okehampton in the mornings &so it’s fairly quiet (hence my annoyance at not being able to get home as I get up at 5.45 and am generally exhausted!)
@StagecoachSW It’s just getting ridiculous now, I can’t get home from work as normal almost everyday, it’s making me anxious to even go into the office not knowing if I will even be able to get on a bus home! I am paying for a service that you are not providing.
@StagecoachSW Hi. For the 4th time I’ve just gone to get the 3.40 bus 6 to Okehampton from Exeter st Thomas and once again it has driven past me as it’s full. In your previous tweet you said there was an extra service at this time, for the college students. Why is this STILL HAPPENING?
@StagecoachSW@karena_maltby Hi stagecoach please could you let me know the new times for the additional college buses (c6) as I have not been able to get on my regular bus home (3.40) from work all week
I can confirm I have not changed my name to Hugh Pugh despite efforts by my colleagues - happy childhood memories of people saying Hugh Pugh Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble etc - if it gives people a bit of a laugh in these difficult times that’s a good way to end the week.
@PaulBHerbert1@StagecoachSW Totally agree Paul! I have not been able to get my regular bus home from work all week as it has been full of students. I’ve worked throughout the pandemic and now I am denied the smallest luxury of simply getting home on time.
@StagecoachSW My concern is that the bus I get every day is the 3.40 and the ‘dedicated school bus’ for the same route is at 4.40, and so this won’t resolve any issue, as the 3.40 will still be full!
@StagecoachSW Hi Jane. Please can you tell me what’s happening with these so called school buses? I’ve just been refused twice to get on my regular buses home which I have been getting throughout lockdown because, guess what? It’s full of college students!!
@StagecoachSW (I work full time and have been throughout the pandemic. Really felt safe on the buses but I’m scared it won’t be safe with all the students taking up all the seats)
@StagecoachSW Hi there, I’m a bit co bit concerned that the buses are going to be packed with college students when schools re open. I get the 6/6A and even before the pandemic I sometimes struggled to get a seat. Will you be operating more services to accommodate this with social distancing?
