Prepare your picnics, buckets and spades – Plymouth’s ‘beach bus’ will be making a welcome return this upcoming May half term.
Beach lovers and visitors will once again be able to take the number 54 bus straight to Bovisand, which overlooks Plymouth Sound.
Operated by Stagecoach South West, the service will run daily between Saturday 24 May and Sunday 1 June. It will then return for the summer holiday, running daily from Saturday 26 July to Sunday 31 August.
The bus will depart from the city centre every hour from 10am until 6pm (except 2pm), returning from Bovisand hourly from 10.28am until 6.28pm (except 2.28pm). It will depart from and drop off at Stop A10 on Royal Parade.
The service, financially supported by the Council, will give people the chance to enjoy a great day out at the beach or take walks along the South West Coast Path.
Councillor John Stephens, Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Transport said: “The Bovisand bus is a popular and convenient way to get to the beach and we’re really pleased to be able to bring it back for another year. One of Plymouth’s priorities is providing direct routes to key locations and this service will enable residents and visitors to enjoy Bovisand and the wider National Marine Park throughout the summer.”
