General Discussion
What do people think of just one Council for all of Devon? .. tis all over local news but nothing on here. I see Gordon Brown has sacked a Minister within an hour of her saying 'there should be a leader election'. he can move fast on some things it seems!
Devon General was Government owned in the 1970s NBC 'The National Bus Company' until de- regulation in 1984. The Government sold it all to Harry Blundred for a song, he got the mini buses into Exeter and worked well, he sold it to Stagecoach early 1990s.

Thank you!

I am sure if SWT were allowed they would be running more to Paignton than now if they were allowed. The changes may well allow an ...
Viaduct prefers gloom news.
