fairly good signage. There is a public telephone outside the station. The busstation has public toilets and a rack of timetab le and information leaflets.Likely Usage5.5.12 The Exmouth Rail-Bus interchange provides good interchange opportunitieswhen arriving at Exmouth by service 157 and changing to the train, or whenarriving by train changing to service 95, but other connections require a waitof 20-30 minutes on weekdays. On Sundays, all connections are quite poor.The best is the 20 minute wait from the 95 bus onto the train. The two busesprovide good access to the stretch of coast between Exmouth and BudleighSalterton, and then on to Sidmouth.5.5.13 Service 157 is financially supported by DeCC on Sundays and rail-busconnections are currently poor. At the time of the next contract renewal, thelocal authority should look to reduce wait times.5.5.14 Service 95 is commercially operated and therefore DeCC cannot directlyinfluence the timetable. However, the bus operator may still be open totimetabling suggestions, as improved connections may increase theirpassenger numbers.5.5.15 No rail add-on fares are availab le for onward bus travel from Exmouth.Other comments: Development Proposals5.5.16 The land adjacent to the bus and rail stations is subject to proposals todevelop a supermarket. This may give a rare opportunity to construct agreatly improved joint facility with contributions sought from the adjacentretail development. Of particular importance would be:- Integrating bus and rail facilities in one building;- Avoiding the need for ramps and steps;- Minimising walk route distances when buildings are closed;- Providing bright, airy and attractive waiting areas with seating, a mannedticket and information office, timetab le information (paper andelectronic);- Making the most of the positioning of neighbouring retail uses to ensurenatural surveillance (and potentially the use of convenient kiosk and caféfacilities) for waiting bus and rail passengers; andDoc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 113G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
