Devon General Remembered

Preserved Devon General buses will take to the roads in and around Newton Abbot on Sunday 6th September 2026, recreating the routes of the 1960s.
Services will run from Highweek Way between 10am and 4pm, giving free round trips around the town and out to Chudleigh, Combeinteignhead, Ideford, Ipplepen, Teignmouth and Torquay. Open-top bus trips will also be available, weather permitting.
The event is organised by the Devon General Society, whose two hundred members celebrate the fascinating history of a bus company that many local people recall with fondness.
A souvenir programme giving details of the routes and the buses running on them will be available on the day for £6, or in advance by post for £7 from the Devon General Society.
