If you’ve taken a look inside the larger bus shelters along our local route to Exeter recently, you might have noticed some bright, informative new additions!
Connect Bude has designed and printed brand-new Integrated Journey Information posters to make connecting between local buses and the railway network easier and clearer for everyone.
Better Connections at a Glance
The new posters bring together bus and train connection times into a single, easy-to-read schedule. They focus on the vital Stagecoach No. 6 route, which links Bude directly with Holsworthy, Halwill Junction, and Okehampton Station. From Okehampton, passengers can smoothly join the Dartmoor Line through to Crediton and Exeter.
Here is what the new displays cover:
- Integrated Timetables: Straightforward timetables showing departure times from Bude The Strand, key stops along the way, wait times at Okehampton Railway Station, and connecting train departure times to Exeter (as well as return timings).
- Combined Rail Link Tickets: Clear information on combined train and bus tickets, allowing you to book your full journey from Bude to Exeter together online or at the station.
- Discounts & Savings: Highlights on local savings, including the Devon & Cornwall Local Railcard (saving 1/3 or more) and GWR GroupSave options.
- Clear Route Map: Visual maps showing how North Cornwall connects into the wider Devon and Cornwall rail network.
Collaborative Local Effort
These posters were produced entirely by Connect Bude, made possible through generous funding from Great Western Railway (GWR). We are also immensely grateful to the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership, who kindly granted permission to use their regional route artwork and mapping graphics.

Volunteers Needed: Help Us Deliver Leaflets Across Bude!
Alongside the large bus shelter posters, we have printed matching handy timetables and campaign leaflets to help residents stay informed about local transport links and our ongoing campaign for improved connections.
To get these leaflets into doors across the area, we need your help!
If you have a bit of spare time and can help deliver leaflets to properties around Bude, we would love to hear from you.
