671 Bus Update
Message From Tony at Carmel Coaches At present there seems no point in serving North Bovey with the Wednesday 671 service. However should any one need transport then they can ring us on 01409 221237 before Wednesday morning and we will call and pick them up. Our phoneline is open 24/7. We are still running to Newton Abbot every Wednesday but as only limited shops are open we are returning early when everyone has completed their shopping and returned to the bus. This avoids people having to stay out any longer than necessary thus reducing the risk of exposure to the virus.
