From
the North Devon GazetteBus and train timetables at Barnstaple have been brought back into sync after commuters had complained of being unable to catch the morning train.
Changes to the December timetable by Great Western Railway for the Tarka▸ Line service to Exeter meant bus passengers were unable to get to the station before the train departed.
Now Stagecoach South West has announced changes to its 21 service to ensure the two timetables match when the new GWR▸ schedule begins on Sunday, December 15.
The problem was highlighted by a Gazette reader, who contacted us to say they had until now used the Bideford bus to get to the station in time for the 6.57am train.
The train timetable changes meant the bus would arrive too late to catch the first train and with a 'similar mismatch' for the second service.
