Cowick/St Thomas
COWICK residents hoping for a direct bus service to the doctors' surgery in Cowick Street look set to be disappointed.
Cllr Paul Bull has been looking into the issue of what used to be the P service [sic that should be the C service], but have no plans to reinstate the former route.
A spokeswoman for Stagecoach said: "Over the last few years we have made significant improvements to our Exeter network, including spending some time looking at the most simple and effective ways our E, F and P services could interwork with one another for the benefit of the majority of our customers.
"The result of this was to keep our E and F services on a similar routing between Stoke Arms and Redhills, allowing us to maintain a maintain a turn-up-and-go service.
"The P was then rerouted down Isleworth Road and Charnley Avenue to provide residents of High Meadows with a bus service.
"This arrangement works well for most of our customers, but we appreciate there are some Crossmead residents who would like route P to also serve Cowick Street Health Centre.
"At present we have no plans to make this change to the service but, to complete this journey, customers can connect onto either E or F at The Barleymow or St Thomas Shopping Centre.
"Alternatively, Country Bus, Dartline and Western Greyhound all offer direct services from Dunsford Hill to the Health Centre."
