We are returning to Newton Abbot for our 2026 ‘Devon General Remembered’ running day, on Sunday 6th September.
Based at Highweek Way in the town centre, adjacent to the Asda store, our event will feature preserved Devon General buses running free services to local destinations such as Chudleigh, Sandygate, Teignmouth and Torquay (Lawes Bridge). There will also be trips to Combeinteignhead and Ideford and, weather permitting, an open-top bus town tour.
The Devon General Society sales stand will be present, selling bus books, magazines, photos and memorabilia, and our Membership stand will enable you to find out more about the DGS and to join us if you wish.
A souvenir programme will be available in advance and on the day, giving details of the timetables and the buses operating them – look out for further information about this. Vehicle entries are by invitation only and owners will be contacted soon.
Newton Abbot is easy to reach by public transport, with the main town centre bus stops at Sherborne Road just a short walk from Highweek Way. We will run a free shuttle bus service between Newton Abbot railway station and Highweek Way at the start and end of the event, and the free bus service to Lawes Bridge will provide connections to and from the railway station during the day. There is car parking close to Highweek Way and plenty of cafes and shops in Newton Abbot town centre. Public toilets are available nearby.
Please keep Sunday 6th September 2026 free. We look forward to seeing you for a day of Devon General nostalgia at Newton Abbot!
