Analysis of Class 175 Fleet Reliability

2026-09-16T21:31:02.039+01:00

Analysis of Class 175 Fleet Reliability and Service Reintroduction

This briefing document examines the historical reliability challenges and the current reintroduction strategy for the Class 175 Coradia diesel multiple unit (DMU) fleet. It details the technical failures experienced under previous operators and the measures currently being implemented by Great Western Railway (GWR) and Alstom to ensure operational stability.

Technical Specifications: Class 175 Coradia

Built between 1999 and 2001 by Alstom at Washwood Heath, Birmingham, the Class 175 fleet consists of 27 trainsets owned by Angel Trains.

Specification	Class 175/0 (2-car)	Class 175/1 (3-car)
Format	DMSL-DMSL	DMSL-MSL-DMSL
Service Weight	49.75 tonnes (per car)	146.761 tonnes (total)
Length	23.713 m (Driving vehicle)	70.45 m (Total unit)
Width	2.73 m	2.73 m
Seating Capacity	134	206
Maximum Speed	100 mph	100 mph
Body Construction	Steel	Steel

Historical Reliability Issues (2000–2024)

Since entering service in May 2000, the Class 175 fleet has been characterized by significant mechanical and electronic failures. These issues persisted through tenures with First North Western (FNW), Arriva Trains Wales (ATW), and Transport for Wales.

Mechanical and Structural Failures

Early operations were marred by fundamental hardware deficiencies that required extensive remedial work:

Bogie Defects: The fleet required significant modifications to its bogies to meet safety and performance standards.

Braking Systems: Problems with the original braking systems necessitated engineering interventions to improve stopping performance and reliability.

Engine Efficiency: The units are described as replacing "heritage" DMUs but eventually became viewed as less efficient compared to modern standards, contributing to GWR's decision to utilize them only as a "rejuvenation" measure for regional services.

Passenger Information System (PIS) Malfunctions

A recurring issue involved the automated announcement and display systems, which were often non-functional:

System Errors: Internal problems with the Alstom-fitted PIS led Arriva Trains Wales to cease using the system entirely upon acquiring the fleet.

Display Issues: Because the PIS was disabled, the external LED destination displays on the front and rear of the trains remained unlit, causing passenger confusion.

2007 Reprogramming: The system eventually required a total overhaul in 2007 to introduce new routes, Welsh spellings, and audio chimes to signal announcements.

Great Western Railway (GWR) Reintroduction Strategy

In March 2024, GWR signed a lease for 26 Class 175 units to bolster services in South West England, specifically targeting routes between Exeter St Davids, Penzance, Barnstaple, and Okehampton. To address the fleet's historical reputation for unreliability, a £75 million Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement (TSSSA) was established.

Predictive Maintenance via Alstom HealthHub

The primary strategy for improving reliability under GWR is the implementation of the HealthHub digital solution. This represents the first time a GWR fleet has utilized condition-based and predictive maintenance technology.

Real-Time Data Analysis: Each train transmits data on more than 200 parameters every 30 seconds.

Monitored Metrics: Parameters include train speed, internal carriage temperature, and GPS coordinates.

Incident Prevention: The system is designed to alert maintenance teams to anomalies in real-time, allowing for repairs before mechanical failures impact passenger service.

Operational Support and Infrastructure

Maintenance Hub: Ongoing support is centralized at GWR’s Laira depot in Plymouth.

Specialized Staffing: The contract supports 15 dedicated roles, including material planners and engineers, specifically to manage the Class 175 reintroduction.

Fleet Modernization: GWR intends to use these units to facilitate the removal of its "oldest and least efficient" diesel trains, aiming for a tangible boost in regional punctuality.

Conclusions on Fleet Status

The Class 175 fleet has transitioned from a troubled introduction in the early 2000s—defined by bogie, brake, and electronic failures—to a highly monitored regional asset. The success of the current reintroduction depends heavily on the HealthHub digital suite's ability to shift maintenance from a reactive to a predictive model. While remedial work in the mid-2000s improved core mechanics, the £75 million investment by GWR and Alstom underscores the ongoing high cost of maintaining the operational integrity of these Alstom Coradia units.

What do people think?

Assuming that people can actually get one with these issues, what do people actually think about these trains? Are they decent trains to ride on?

Class 175

2026-09-14T20:22:24.705+01:00

Earlier this month there was a report that Great Western Railways services were being cut due to issues with Class 175 trains. [BBC News]

A number of rail journeys will be cancelled across Devon and Cornwall from next week due to recurring issues with a fleet of trains, a rail operator has said.

Great Western Railway (GWR) said five weekday services will be cancelled between Penzance and Plymouth/Exeter from Monday.

The issue is down to the company's Class 175 fleet, which it said had been "challenging from a reliability perspective," prompting too many cancellations for customers.

The operator said it understood the timetable changes would be "frustrating for customers" but believed the move would "provide a more reliable service in the short term" while it worked to bring its fleet up to standard.

I must admit I know very little about trains in the region but I have been looking into the class 175...

The 25-Year Journey of the Class 175: From Birmingham to the South West

1. Introduction: The Coradia Philosophy

The British Rail Class 175 represents a vital chapter in Alstom’s Coradia family, a global lineage of passenger trains defined by a commitment to smart, sustainable mobility. As a market leader in rail services, Alstom designed the Coradia platform to be adaptable; in the United Kingdom, this vision manifested in the versatile Class 175 regional units and their high-speed sibling, the Class 180. While the 180 was built for express speeds of 125 mph, the Class 175 was engineered as a 100 mph workhorse, bridging the gap between local stopping services and long-distance regional travel.

The journey of the Class 175 spans over a quarter-century, beginning with its initial order in 1997 and continuing through its current rejuvenation under Great Western Railway (GWR). This narrative traces how a fleet of 27 trains evolved from a regional solution for the North West into a digitally advanced asset serving the rugged coastlines of the South West.

While the "Coradia" philosophy provided the intellectual blueprint for these trains, their physical story began amidst the industrial heritage of the English Midlands.

2. Origins and Architecture: The Washwood Heath Era (1997–2001)

The Class 175 was born from a 1997 order placed by North West Trains, a £78 million investment aimed at a total overhaul of regional rail standards. The transition from locomotive-hauled coaches to Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs) represented a significant shift in railway philosophy: DMUs offered superior operational flexibility, faster turnaround times, and reduced track wear compared to heavy locomotives. The primary goals of this order were:

Replacing the "Heritage" Fleet: To phase out aging Class 101 units that had served since the mid-20th century.
Retiring Locomotive-Hauled Trains: To modernize long-distance corridors to Bangor and Holyhead by replacing heavy engines and coaches with efficient, self-propelled sets.
Modernizing Regional Service: To provide a standardized, contemporary passenger experience across the North West and West Midlands.

The fleet was constructed at Alstom's Washwood Heath facility in Birmingham. To support the units, a purpose-built maintenance depot was established at Chester, replacing the site’s former locomotive sheds. A notable milestone in their development was the use of the Severn Valley Railway for low-speed testing, where the units were first put through their paces on heritage tracks before commencing high-speed trials and driver training on the national network.

Technical Specifications

The fleet was divided into two distinct configurations to balance capacity and operational needs:

Unit Class

Car Formation

Technical Stats

Capacity

Class 175/0

2-car (DMSL-DMSL)

Weight: 99.5 tonnes

Length: 23.713m (per car)

Width: 2.73m

Max Speed: 100 mph

134 seats

Class 175/1

3-car (DMSL-MSL-DMSL)

Weight: 146.761 tonnes (set)

Length: 70.45m (total set)

Width: 2.73m

Max Speed: 100 mph

206 seats

With their construction complete and rigorous testing at the Severn Valley and beyond concluded, the Class 175s were ready for the challenges of the modern rail network.

3. The Operator Carousel: Regional Migrations

Throughout its life, the Class 175 has been a "migratory" fleet. While owned by Angel Trains, the units have moved between various Train Operating Companies (TOCs) due to franchise re-organizations and the introduction of newer fleets, such as the Class 185 "Pennines." This adaptability has allowed the units to remain productive assets even as regional requirements shifted.

Operator Timeline

Era	Operator	Primary Routes/Regions
2000–2003	First North Western	North West England, West Midlands, North Wales Coast
2003–2004	Wales & Borders	Transfer of North Wales Coast services
2004–2024	Arriva Trains Wales / TfW	Wales-wide services, Manchester, Holyhead
2004–2006	TransPennine Express (Sub-lease)	Long-distance North West routes
2024–Present	Great Western Railway (GWR)	South West England (Devon & Cornwall)

While the branding on the exterior changed frequently, the internal technology was quietly undergoing a digital revolution to ensure the fleet’s survival.

4. Technical Hurdles and Digital Evolution

The early years of the Class 175 were hindered by "teething troubles," specifically involving the reliability of brakes and bogies. However, Alstom’s commitment to the fleet through extensive remedial work resulted in "greatly improved" reliability, transforming them from struggling newcomers into dependable regional staples.

Beyond mechanical fixes, the fleet embraced a digital awakening. In 2007, the Passenger Information System (PIS) was reprogrammed to include Welsh language support and an audio chime to alert passengers to announcements. The most profound shift, however, came with the introduction of condition-based monitoring.

The Digital Transformation: HealthHub The Class 175 now utilizes Alstom’s HealthHub solution, a predictive maintenance platform that turns the train into a "smart" asset. The system captures over 200 parameters every 30 seconds—including speed, carriage temperature, and GPS coordinates.

Three Key Benefits of Predictive Maintenance:

Real-Time Monitoring: Constant health surveillance of the train while in active service.
Incident Prevention: Detecting failing components before they cause a service-ending breakdown.
Predictive Alerts: Automated notifications allow maintenance teams at the Laira depot to have parts ready before the train arrives.

This transition from mechanical struggle to digital sophistication paved the way for the fleet's new mission in a completely different corner of the UK.

5. The GWR Rejuvenation: A New Chapter in the South West

In 2024, a landmark £75 million contract between Alstom, GWR, and Angel Trains secured an eight-year future for 26 units of the fleet. This agreement is a significant boon for the local economy, supporting over 15 specialized roles—including engineers, material planners, and administrators—while providing a "tangible boost" to the wider rail supply chain.

The reintroduction of these trains allows GWR to retire older, less efficient diesel units. This provides passengers with improved comfort and punctuality while serving as a bridge toward the eventual decarbonization of the regional network.

Key Routes in Devon and Cornwall:

Exeter St Davids
Penzance
Barnstaple
Okehampton

As these trains settle into their new home in Plymouth, they carry a legacy of resilience into their second quarter-century of service.

6. Summary: The Legacy of the Class 175

The 25-year history of the Class 175 offers three critical takeaways for the student of railway history:

Adaptability: The fleet has survived and thrived through multiple franchise shifts, proving its versatility across diverse geographies—from the flat North West to the steep gradients of the South West.
Modernization: It represents the industry shift from reactive "fix-it-when-it-breaks" maintenance to proactive, digital predictive maintenance via the HealthHub system.
Regional Impact: From replacing heritage Class 101s in 2000 to modernizing branch lines in Cornwall today, the Class 175 remains a vital tool for connecting diverse UK communities.

Now under the expert maintenance of Alstom’s Laira depot, the Class 175 remains a relevant and essential component of Britain’s journey toward a smarter rail future.

So nice trains but clearly there are still issues. More this week...

Just a few changes announced last week

2026-09-07T20:18:02.831+01:00

It seems most of the August changes are now behind us, though a few odds and ends are still trickling through. This past week has been pleasantly quiet, with just three new notices in my daily feeds.

Only one of these (679) relates to August. First, Hants & Dorset have announced new timetables for the X51-X53 services, and we’ve also had an early November notice from Stagecoach cancelling the 60. It would be unusual if this were just a one-off change on that date, so perhaps we can expect a few more adjustments in November for the Torbay area.

PH0005305.065	679	Beech Hill	Exeter Bus Station	30-Aug-2026	Service withdrawn. Customers from Black Dog and Kennerleigh will be able to catch revised service 369 instead.	DEALTOP LIMITED

The 60 covers quite a bit of Torquay but seems to be a one bus operation with just 4 round trips a day. I would imagine it is just being transferred to another operator under tender?

Devon County Council Tendered services

2026-09-01T20:04:30.370+01:00

Speaking of the tenders...

Bus changes have reduced the time passengers from local villages can spend in Barnstaple to less than two hours making it unfeasible for many who have used the service as a lifeline. Users of the local authority funded 372 Stagecoach bus service, which runs once a day on Mondays and Fridays between Bradworthy and Barnstaple ( also serving Buckland Brewer, Putford, Parkham and Littleham), are calling on Devon County Council to reconsider the changes which will come into effect on August 30.

The county council said few people travelled on the service and reducing its time in Barnstaple would allow the bus to operate a school service afterwards, making the 372 viable. But passengers are angry including regular user Margaret Millman who has written a letter to council bosses.

“A significant number of passengers have no access to private transport and rely on the bus for essential food shopping, attending GP and hospital appointments, collecting prescriptions, banking and accessing other services that are not available locally,” she said.

“Because the route travels along narrow single-track country roads and then encounters heavy traffic on entering Barnstaple, the bus occasionally arrives later than scheduled. This is outside the control of both passengers and the driver.

“Reducing the time available in Barnstaple is unreasonable and will make it much more difficult for passengers to complete essential tasks before the return journey. The new timetable shows little consideration for the needs of those who depend on this service.

Service 372 is also losing its college day only journeys between Bradworthy and North Devon College due to low demand.

“It’s like the authorities are saying tough luck! Do they want people to just sit in their houses and rot away?”

Under the new timetable travellers on the 372 will have one hour and 54 mins in Barnstaple (that is without late departures and arrivals and traffic issues. The bus will get in at 10.51am and leave at 12.45am.

The current arrival time for the bus is 11:15am and it departs Barnstaple Bus Station at 1.50pm.

A Devon County Council spokesperson said: “Changes to Service 372 are being made to ensure the route remains financially viable and can continue to operate.

“Service 372 is funded by Devon County Council and operates between Bradworthy and Barnstaple on Mondays and Fridays. On average, fewer than four passengers per day use the service to travel to Barnstaple.

“Reducing the time slightly in Barnstaple will allow the bus to operate a school service after operating service 372, which reduces the cost of operating the service. Without this change, the service would no longer be sustainable.

“The college day only journeys on service 372 are being withdrawn, as usage averaged fewer than one person per day.”

Torridge and Tavistock Conservative MP Sir Geoffrey Cox is understood to be in ongoing communication with Stagecoach regarding local bus services and the difficulties faced by rural communities in accessing reliable public transport.

Free Travel for Plymouth September Weekends

2026-08-27T20:09:19.806+01:00

After helping families save money with free bus travel for children throughout August, Plymouth is taking things one step further this September, with FREE bus travel for everyone on weekends throughout the month. As part of a major initiative from the Plymouth Enhanced Bus Partnership, residents and visitors will be able to hop on board and travel free on participating local bus services on every Saturday and Sunday in September.

The free travel offer applies to all journeys starting within Plymouth on:

Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September

Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 September

Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September

Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September

Whether you're planning a family day out, heading into the city centre, going to work, meeting friends, exploring a new part of Plymouth or simply curious about what bus travel is like these days, September is the perfect opportunity to jump on board. For people who've never used the bus before, the message is simple: Give the bus a go at no cost! No reason not to try. And for those who haven't travelled by bus in a while: Rediscover the bus and see what's changed.

The initiative is being funded through Government bus improvement funding and delivered in partnership with Plymouth City Council, Plymouth Citybus, Stagecoach South West and Tally Ho.

Councillor John Stephens, Plymouth City Council's Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Transport, said: "August has been all about helping families get out and about with free travel for children, and now we're inviting everyone to experience what Plymouth's bus network has to offer.

"This is a fantastic opportunity to leave the car at home, save money and explore everything our city has to offer without spending a penny on travel.

"Whether you're a regular bus user, someone who hasn't caught a bus in years, or somebody who's never tried it before, we'd encourage you to take advantage of the free weekends and give the bus a go.

"We're working hard with our bus operators to make public transport an easy, affordable and attractive choice and we hope these free travel weekends will encourage even more people to discover just how convenient travelling by bus can be."

The initiative also coincides with Catch the Bus Month, a national celebration of bus travel, and local partners will be heading into the city centre on Saturday 12 September to meet residents, answer questions and hear people's views on bus services in Plymouth.

Anyone who is thinking about using the bus more often, has not travelled by bus for some time, or simply wants to find out more, is encouraged to come along to the Armada Way Piazza from 10am - 4pm and chat to the team.

Peter Knight, Managing Director of Stagecoach South West, added: “September’s free travel weekends are a fantastic opportunity for people across Plymouth to get on board and experience the bus for themselves, whether they’re regular customers or haven’t travelled by bus for some time.

“By removing the cost of travel at weekends, we’re making it easier than ever for families, students, commuters and visitors to explore Plymouth, enjoy everything the city has to offer and perhaps discover a new way to get around. We’re proud to be working alongside Plymouth City Council, Plymouth Citybus and Tally Ho to deliver this initiative, and we hope as many people as possible will take advantage of the offer and give the bus a go.”

So whether you're a fresher discovering your new city, a family looking for a low-cost day out, a shopper wanting to avoid parking charges or someone trying to cut their carbon footprint, there's never been a better time to get on board.

For more information about participating services and the free travel offer, go to: www.plymouth.gov.uk/ride-free-plymouth (web page will be live from 1 September)

Free travel is available on participating Plymouth Citybus, Stagecoach South West and Tally Ho services where journeys start within the Plymouth city boundary. Exclusions apply, including Plymouth Citybus Argyle football specials and the Stagecoach Falcon coach service

Is this a good idea?

I must admit I am in two minds on this. For many people this will be great, but will it really get more people using the buses regularly in the future that are not already regular users? If this is well publicised then the buses could end up being very full. So new passengers will find their buses may be free but are rammed full and very uncomfortable so wont bother again. Even worse, for those passengers' who do use and rely on the buses on Saturday / Sunday to get to work, will they now find their bus is full up and they cant get to work? buses are often less frequent on weekends so if your bus goes past because its full up you will have a fair old wait, and no guarantee that wont also be full? What do people think? Am I being too pessimistic?

Next Weekend and more

Stagecoach big changes 31 August

2026-08-16T15:44:58.243+01:00

Stagecoach have given their full account of all the timetable changes on 31st August:

New and revised services, improved connections and timetable changes will be introduced across Greater Exeter, North Devon, Plymouth, South Hams and West Devon, Cornwall and Torbay from Sunday 30 August 2026.

Greater Exeter

Service B – Monkerton – Exminster via City Centre

The timetable is being updated after reviewing customer demand. The section between Exminster and Matford Park and Ride will be removed due to low use and the presence of Service 2 between Exminster and Exeter City Centre. A schoolday link between Exminster and Matford Brook Academy will continue through the new Service X, arranged by Devon County Council and run by Greenslades. Service X will also keep the connection between Exminster and Marsh Barton. With the end of Service C, the stretch between Matford Park and Ride and Alphington via Chudleigh Road will move to Service B. The new route will serve two of Exeter’s largest new housing areas. On Saturdays, buses will run every 20 minutes instead of every 30, adding one more trip each hour. On Sundays and Public Holidays, daytime buses will double from every 60 minutes to every 30, and new evening journeys will be added to match the weekday service.

Service C – Matford Park & Ride – Sowton Park & Ride via City Centre

Following a review of Service C and other services operating over common sections of route to Service C, the decision has been taken to withdraw the service. Alternative travel options include:

- New Service PR1 between Sowton Park and Ride and Exeter City Centre, operating as a limited-stop service from approximately 0700 to 1900 Monday to Saturday, up to every 15 minutes. Honiton Road Park and Ride, offering up to 10 departures per hour to and from the City Centre. Customers using Service C travelling to and from Heavitree can use the high number of alternative services operating through the area. Matford Park and Ride will continue to be served by Services B, 7, 38 and 39, providing up to six buses per hour to and from the City Centre. South West Exeter housing developments currently served by Service C will transfer to Service B. With the introduction of electric vehicles across the Exeter bus network it has been confirmed that these vehicles will be unable to pass under Tan Lane bridge, due to the height restriction, which would force a change of route and meaning it would not be practical to serve Haven Banks. Devon County Council has procured new Service X, operated by Greenslades, to serve the Haven Banks area.

Service E – City Centre – Exwick

Timetable changes will improve reliability and punctuality. Sunday and Public Holiday evening departures are amended to match other days of operation, providing a more consistent evening timetable throughout the week.

Service H – Exeter St David’s – Digby

Timetable changes to improve reliability and punctuality, with some morning departures will advanced, while some afternoon departures will be pushed back.

Service M – City Centre – Mount Dinham

Services 1 – Exeter – Cullompton

Service 1A – Exeter – Cullompton - Tiverton Following a capacity review of services between Exeter and Cullompton, there will be some changes to the Service 1 timetable, with some minor changes to Service 1A timetable: Monday to Saturday daytime frequency on Service 1 will reduce from every 15 minutes to every 20 minutes. Journeys serving Clyst Vale School in the afternoon will be slightly retimed to reflect changes to the school day. A small number of early-morning and early-evening journeys will be withdrawn.

Service 2 – Exeter – Newton Abbot via Dawlish

Due to the withdrawal of Service B from Exminster, customers wishing to travel between Exminster and Exeter City Centre will need to do so on Service 2.

Journeys towards Cranbrook will start from Exeter St Davids and then operate via University of Exeter, before continuing towards the City Centre and onwards to Cranbrook. The change will provide faster and more direct journeys to the University and remove waiting time around the university loop. Saturday overnight journeys between the City Centre and Cranbrook will be extended to and from the University of Exeter, providing improved access to leisure facilities and for University of Exeter students. Early-morning and evening Sunday and Public Holiday journeys will operate directly between Exeter St Davids and the City Centre and will not serve the University.

Changes to accommodate school and college movements, especially for Brixham College and Churston Grammar School, with journeys timed to suit the start and end of the college/school day. Journeys towards Newton Abbot, buses will operate via Queen Street and Courtenay Street to Sherborne Road, rather than The Avenue, Kingsteignton Road, Halcyon Road, Highweek Street and Market Street. This will reduce journey times and improve access to retail and leisure facilities. No change to the route in Newton Abbot for journeys towards Brixham, however, journeys will start from Stop F in Sherborne Road.

Service 13 – Kingsteignton – Brixham via Torbay Hospital

All change at the end of August

2026-08-02T18:20:05.592+01:00

After a quiet few months, July has brought a bumper batch of service registration changes. This past week has been especially busy. Highlights include Plymouth Citybus and Stagecoach Plymouth services from 30th August. Nothing major, but there’s a change of operator for the 14, and the 43A is being dropped. The big news for many is the return of services to Royal Parade from Mayflower Street, following strong campaigning by passengers and some councillors. Another notable update is the Callywith timetables from Stagecoach, with a few routes changed.

Following a bumper session I now have timetables for most of these one the pages linked to below.

Well that was fun sorting out that lot. The complete loss of electric power yesterday afternoon didnt help. Nor did the eventual solution - a big diesel generator sat outside our house running all night - and again all day and tonight as well until they can come this week and dig up the path to replace the cables! Its great having power but the noise does make sleep very difficult!

Service changes up dated

The service registrations website is now fixed, so I’ve been able to process changes from the past couple of weeks. Some of these updates may have already been noted here before, but they’re repeated for completeness. The main batch involves cancellations in Cornwall for college services, which are being switched to closed contracts.

Service Notice Summary

2026-07-19T14:17:25.326+01:00

My usual source for route licensing data is currently down, at least the CSV export I depend on to save time. It’s under investigation, and they hope to have it working again soon — if not, I’ll clearly need to come up with a revised plan!

In the meantime, here’s a quick summary of new notices so you can see what’s going on. None of these will appear on my route pages yet due to the CSV issue and also because I haven’t been well in the extreme heat. Thankfully, it’s fairly quiet at the moment!

New Liskeard Bus Station

2026-07-15T19:02:03.114+01:00

I have continued to struggle in the heat so evening computer time has been rather limited for a while now. But thanks to Peter Murgahan I am able to bring you an update on Liskeard Bus Station:

Liskeard's new bus station, in the former Cattle Market, is built and ready to start serving buses at the end of July. Buses will circle around the cafe in the low grey building and stop in the saw tooth bays. It's good to see the signage and a route map already in place, in advance of its opening.

This new facility should take some of the pressure off the busy roadside stops at Liskeard's post office, when more than one bus needing to stop can cause delays to traffic.

Liskeard has never had a dedicated bus station before, although there was a plan in the 1940s by Western National for a small bus station behind the old Barclays Bank building, but it was never built.

Its always good to see such investment in public transport infrastructure!

Devon General Remembered

2026-07-08T20:31:05.770+01:00

‘Devon General Remembered’ running day at Newton Abbot

Preserved Devon General buses will take to the roads in and around Newton Abbot on Sunday 6^th September 2026, recreating the routes of the 1960s.

Services will run from Highweek Way between 10am and 4pm, giving free round trips around the town and out to local destinations such as Chudleigh, Teignmouth and Torquay. Open-top bus trips will also be available, weather permitting.

The event is organised by the Devon General Society, whose two hundred members celebrate the fascinating history of a bus company that many local people recall with fondness.

A souvenir programme giving details of the routes and the buses running on them will be available on the day, or in advance by post from the Devon General Society.

Further information can be found at devongeneral.org.uk/category/events/

Rame Buses Part Two

2026-07-02T13:30:00.000+01:00

I sadly missed the Rame Beers & Buses event over the weekend due to illness but Mark Bailey was there and has sent his usual selection of photos.

I couldn't choose between them all so I have split them across two posts so you get to see them all!

Go Cornwall Registrations

2026-06-30T20:30:01.717+01:00

I was laid low by last week’s heat wave, so I’m only now catching up after nearly a week of doing nothing! I have, however, managed to catch up with last week’s service registration notices. Apart from a one-day-only new registration for Dartline (Truronian section) PR2, everything else is Go Cornwall’s changes for 26/27 July, which have already been covered here, so I won’t go into any more detail.

Transport For Cornwall July Timetable Updates

From 26th July 2026, a series of service changes will be introduced. These updates will take place earlier than the usual September service review, giving passengers more time to plan ahead. The changes are in addition to the previously announced summer service enhancements. Many of these improvements have been made directly in response to customer feedback, particularly regarding service timings and route coverage.
