Trip was smooth - no problems.Drivers both very helpful, especially the last one.

The journey was fine to Exeter but such a long wait for the connection to Paignton otherwise no problems.
Pamela A.
It was good, until we left Exeter, the bus driver came off at the Teig mouth roundabout and it was gridlock onto the Newton abbot drop off at Newton abbot railway station. If he had stayed on the A38 and left at the Penn Inn roundabout it would have avoided at least 20 mins of tailback, this was confirmed when we eventually reached the Newton abbot railway station it took us less than 5 mins to rejoin the bypass road at the Penn Inn. The traffic flow from the Penn Inn roundabout to the Newton abbot railway station is literally 5 mins.
