Normal access is through the ticket office,which is reached by either steps or a gentle ramp from the bus station level.Outside of opening hours, an alternative route through the car park is used.Information Provision5.5.3 Information provision at Exmouth is fairly good. The railway station hasstandard timetable display boards as well as one electronic departure boardon the approach to the platform (showing the next train). In addition, theticket office carries a range of leaflets and timetable booklets. The stationsigns and the station itself are branded with the Jurassic Coast logo and thereis a sign in the ticket office indicating the route to the buses.5.5.4 The bus stop has standard timetables displayed in a timetable case. The textof these timetab les is small, and they are not stop-specific, and maytherefore be difficult for many peop le to use. None of the timetab les hasExmouth bus station highlighted, and some timetables refer to services whichdo not stop at the bus station, but about 5 minutes walk away in the towncentre.5.5.5 Neither the bus nor rail timetables show any information about rail-busconnections nor does information appear to be available on the First GreatWestern website.Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 110G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
