Twirlies get earlier with Stagecoach Devon free bus pass extension

By PRSD, on Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Stagecoach Devon has made a move to combat Twirlies (you know, the ones who stand at bus stops with their free passes and ask if they are ‘too early’) by extending the time the buses accept National Bus Pass holders to 9am (on the majority of Stagecoach services in Devon).

But before you all start re-setting your alarm clock, remember that this is only for Stagecoach Devon services – no other carriers have offered nor are obliged to accept National Bus Passes before 9.30am. And the Exeter Mega Rider ticket area remains a 9.30am start.

• What’s your favourite bus journey in Devon?

• I’ve just received a google alert on Stagecoach Devon which shows a post you’ve made re: Twirlies get earlier with Stagecoach Devon free bus pass extension.

Could you make a couple of amends? Stagecoach have not changed the times, this has been done by the local councils – they dictate the times the pass can be used (so actually they should be congratulated on this), i’ve attached the times for you as they are different by location.

Also you mention the Exeter Megarider, this is available ti use at any time of the day (not after 9.30am) this goes for all purchased multi journey tickets (explorer / Megarider gold / Torbay megarider etc)

If you require any more info please let me know…..
