Going to Croyde via Barnstaple

Postby Graham » Fri Aug 06, 2004 7:05 pm

Ok, on Sunday I'm catching the train to Barnstaple and then need to pick up the 308 bus to get to Croyde. The train is supposed to arrive at 15:45 and the bus leaves at 16:00, the next bus isn't until 18:00

Problem is I can't find out exactly how far it is from Barnstaple train station to Barstaple bus station!

Has anyone been this route and got any useful advice?

Hey! Barnstaple bus station is literally about 5 minutes walk from the train station, you head towards the town centre (easily signposted) across the bridge and then head in the same direction past the square, and then youve got about 2 minutes to go from the station. If this is confusing, just ask anybody when you leave the train station!
I live about 5 minutes from Barnstaple, and head to Croyde all the time.
Classic break, meant to be going off on monday! (1.5xoverhead!!!) Epic!! Looks like you picked the right weekend.
Hope this helps mate.

The Buses won't let you on with your board.. watch out for that. U might have to hitch.
