Requests For Enhanced and New Bus Services

I often receive requests for increased bus services to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, and one route in particular which covers a huge swathe of the East Devon A3052 corridor and which used to be served by an hourly service from First Bus X53 Jurassic Coast Link, but sadly due to its demise there is now only one Axe Valley Bus service from Seaton covering this route.

I have recently made further representations to Stagecoach through the Transport Co-ordination Team at County Hall to see if they can provide a new service or divert their 9A service to take in the RD&E and to also divert around Stowford Rise to the Beacon Medical Centre at Sidmouth.

My requests are also being fed into the 'Bus Back Better' process.
