What a load of rubbish from Stagecoach about the non-existant bus services!

The problem is not breakdowns but a shortage of drivers, light and counting, they do not replace buses, they haven’t any spares. If the 3 service doesn’t run, the passengers are left to wait an hour.

If the 9.15am does not run, it means the 2pm doesn’t either, as it is the return bus from Plymouth.

Townstal residents are left standing at bus stops because buses are full of park and ride passengers.

The question we surely have to ask is why can’t Stagecoach find and keep drivers?
