Want a direct Derriford bus? Please complete our survey
With a second Hopper bus on its way we are seriously exploring the viability of running a direct Derriford Hospital service. But is there enough demand? We need to get feedback from you to be sure enough to trial a service. Please take a moment to answer our brief survey (it’s only one page long) to help decide what we do. Also please tell your your friends in Saltash and surrounding villages about the survey. Share it on social media too: the more responses we get the better. Thank you

I looked at getting a bug to Derriford recently but gave up in the end because I would have had to go into the City Centre and change buses and take over an hour. I would have used a direct bus if there was one. I give blood and would give blood twice a year at Derriford if there was a direct bus, plus use it on the odd other occasion.
As it won’t be starting from Callington I can’t see the point of driving into Saltash when you can already drive to Tavistock and catch the NO 1 which runs every half hour to Derriford. If I lived in Saltash I’d probably think it was a lovely idea.
I believe a direct service from Saltash is very much needed,having to wait around for two buses makes it difficult to get to appointments on time.
