Returning service will operate from Ivybridge Railway Station via Exeter Road, St Peters Way, Woolcombe Lane, Leonards Road to Marjorie Kelly Way and then follow the reverse of the outbound route to Plympton and Plymouth. 

On most journeys the service 20A will change to become a Service 45 at Ivybridge Railway Station allowing passengers from the Ivybridge area a fast link to Plymouth. 

Service 21/A: Some journeys retimed to improve reliability.

Service 23/24: Changes to departure times on Sundays only. 

Service 26A: Withdrawn. See Services 28/29 for Alternative journeys.

Return service will operate via Asda and Forder Valley to Charfield Drive and then operate the same route as the 28 to the City Centre. Passengers from Mainstone will need to change buses at Asda to the service 50 for Derriford Hospital. Sunday & Bank Holidays this service will also serve Deer Park. 

Daytime Service 28B: This service will operate the same route as the Service 28 to Charfield Drive and then operate via Church Hill to Shallowford Road and Bircham View.
