Service Update – Route 48 (48s)

Service Update – Route 48 (48s)

From Monday 29th September, the 0726 journey from Wembury will no longer serve Exeter Street Viaduct or Royal Parade/Derry’s Cross stops.

Instead, after calling at Leonardo’s Hotel on Exeter Street, the bus will run directly to the Charles Street stop outside Drake Circus.

This change has been made due to very low passenger numbers at the withdrawn stops, while still maintaining boarding and alighting opportunities in the City Centre.

The adjustment also supports our school agreement. Current congestion and works at Royal Parade are causing delays, and by removing this section we can save 6–7 minutes of running time. This will improve reliability and help ensure the bus reaches DHSB on time.
