TWO bus stops in Newton Abbot will not be served by Stagecoach as roadworks continue in the town.

According to a sign put up by the bus provider, neither Newton Abbot Train Station and The Avenue will be served by any of its services for the duration of the works.

The Avenue is under a one-way road closure while Wales and West Utilities upgrade the gas pipes along part of Queen Street.

The work is expected to be completed by February 14.

However, it would appear that, in spite of the sign saying otherwise, buses are, at the very least, serving Newton Abbot Train Station if not The Avenue as well.

Both the number 77 and the number 75 typically stop at Newton Abbot Train Station and neither use the Avenue, opting to travel via Queen Street on the way to Sherborne Road.

And it would seem that they continue to do so, despite the sign directing would-be bus goers toward East Street.

Stagecoach’s live tracker still has buses stopping at Newton Abbot Train Station, for example.

More buses have been seen to be using East Street since Monday, the Mid-Devon Advertiser has been told.

In summary, it is not entirely clear whether the two above-mentioned bus stops are closed or not.

The Mid-Devon Advertiser has contacted Stagecoach for clarity regarding the closures.
