Timetable Changes (Slight)

Here we have two 12/12A timetables.

One appears to be dated only the 30 September 2007 and also appears to be torn in half, that's because it is. So why tear a 2 week old timetable in half. Because when the new times came out at the end of last month there was a change to the running of the 12A. Half the 12A s coming from Newton didn't make it as far as Brixham, they turned at White Rock. This had the effect of reducing the number of 12A s leaving Brixham to one every half hour, enough during the day but it was quickly noticed that people going to South Devon College in the morning were being left behind with a wait of half an hour for the next 12A. A big chunk of the first lecture of the day over before they got there. Not a good way to impress your tutor and pass exams. Which is why they were trying to get to College in the first place. So the company have acted with commendable speed and put on an extra 12A out of Brixham in the morning. Hence the ripped up out of date two week old timetable. Please note if you have a timetable dated the 30th September please don't tear it up and storm our Travel Shops demanding the new timetable, there are only 2 changes and unless you want to go from Brixham to the college at 08:06 or from Paignton to the College at 07:45 (which no longer runs) the changes will have no effect on you what so ever. But the company did have to print new timetables and the man who puts all the timetables on the bus stops had to do the rounds once again and change them all.



There is a little mistake on all those timetables on the bus stops. Once again please don't let it worry you. It does say, "With effect from Sunday 15th October 2007." If they have got the day right then the year is wrong. The next time there will be a Sunday 15th October will be in 2017. Even a forward looking company like ours don't look that far forward so perhaps they have got the day wrong. But we always start out new timetables on a Sunday so I guess the date should read the 14th.
