 A tourist initiative in 2011 was the North Devon Surf and Cycle Bus. The bus was able to take surfboards and bicycles on board. The service was designed to open up the amazing surf beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton to those without their own transport. In addition it was expected to make it easier for people wishing to start/finish the national cycle route 27 coast to coast bike ride in Ilfracombe which meant you could get to and from a train station with your bike. The service managed a couple of seasons before the funding collapsed. Allegedly it failed to pay its way due to poor publicity. Both buses joined the Winkleigh graveyard, Northern Counties Volvo Olympian 16164 (R164HHK) had been East London VN164. Alongside is fellow ex East London Alexander ALX200 bodied Dennis Dart SLF SLD12 (R712XAR) ending its days as 34012. Picture ref A060 |  |

Seen in 2005 was 17734 (SK52USN) a Dennis Trident with Alexander ALX400 bodywork, new to Stagecoach Devon. The bus has discreet branding for the Culm Valley connect service.

 This impressive line up of Stagecoach Tridents from around the country was part of the 2006 display at Duxford. The line includes no less than three from Stagecoach Devon, each in individual branded liveries, and at either end one from Stagecoach East and the other a Coastliner branded one from Stagecoach South. |
