Had a few minutes to sketch these folks waiting for a bus. It's so nice to have models who stay in one spot for a few minutes..though the child was definitely wiggly and ran around a bit.
Blackmoor Gate stands at the entrance to the Exmoor National Park, and is a popular starting and finishing point for walkers and ramblers.
A substantial shelter has been constructed in the car park, which doubles up as an Exmoor Tourist Information Display and a bus stop, served by buses on Filers Travel routes 309 and 310 which pause here briefly on their way to and from Barnstaple and Lynton/Lynmouth. Until recently Filers also operated a route 300 between Ilfracombe and Lynmouth which was extended in the Summer to Porlock and Minehead, and which would also have called here, but sadly that service has now been withdrawn.
Cockington Village lies just outside Torquay. Although it appears timeless, it is in fact a model village and dates back mostly to 1810 when the then squire of Cockington Court decided the original village was spoiling his view! It is not recorded how the villagers felt about this, but the likelihood is that their new homes were a considerable improvement on what they had had before.
Cockington Village and Cockington Court were bought by the local council in the 1930s and are now a popular visitor attraction. A dedicated bus route (no. 62) links Torquay hotels and the town centre with Cockington between 10.00 and 16.00 Monday-Friday, and serves this stop on the edge of Cockington Village, next to the new Visitor Centre.
I think the best thing about this shelter is the welter of information posted by anyone and everyone. So different to the soulless corporate advertising we are subjected to when the highest bidder gets the bus stop franchise.
Is it fair to assume that when built this shelter had glass in the windows, but they gave up replacing them a while ago?
A closer view of the bus stop seen in the previous picture.
This is the view of the timetable when standing at close range, the sort of distance you would be stood to read most timetables in this kind of case. Clearly you are going to have to resort to getting down on your knees to view this timetable, just as I had to do to get the next picture.
Hodson Turn bus stop. This stop, for the nearby village of Hodson, is served by just two buses a day Monday to Friday, both in the early morning, of Stagecoach Service 71, and no buses at weekends. The stop on the opposite side of the road has the privilege of three buses a day, Monday to Friday, plus one bus on Saturday, with two of the buses again being early in the morning and the extra buses being a late night service from Swindon to Marlborough. There’s a well trampled track in the grass verge, leading away to the right, towards the head office of Halcrow and a stop just over half a mile away with a much more frequent service.
This bus stop pole is typical of poles erected up and down the country by BET (British Electric Traction) companies after the Second World War. This example is in East Street, Bovey Tracey and is used by Stagecoach route 39 towards Newton Abbot.
In 1968 the British Electric Traction group sold its bus interests to the Government, and the following year they were combined with the former Tilling Group companies, which had been State-owned since 1948, to form the new National Bus Company.
