Now here's an idea, I haven't tried it but I have seen a few of the 'on line' tickets. How it works is you buy your ticket on line and Stagecoach send you the ticket through the post so allow a few days for the ticket to arrive. You can buy them in advance so if you are the sort of person who buys all your Christmas cards in September then this is for YOU!One thing I am noticing about the new 12A/12C service, the destination is St Marychurch which is what it says on the front. But most visitors haven't heard of St Marychurch, they have all heard of, and want to go to, Babbacombe which is one stop down from Marychurch but that isn't on the destination blind. A lot of people walk up to the front of the bus and look at the destination blind. Most come and ask, "Do you go to Babbacombe?" but a few do walk away. Remember in some places in the country it is not considered safe to ask bus drivers questions.

Hasn't this been avaliable for a few months now.
The same here with Holmwood Avenue when Goosewell would do just as well after all that's where Holmwood Avenue is.
They not gone Transport for London style have they? Obliterating via points and inventing new names from termini.
Oh dear!!
The poster advertising the on line tickets only went up on the buses this week which is why it is on the blog.
Oh right. In Exeter we had them up a while ago. I'd of thought that the posters would of went up the same time countywide.
