RIP Target Travel?

[SaltashBob]

No Mark,

Dartline had a connection with Target Travel in that their lifelong Directors David Dart and David Hounslow, both great friends of Robert Risk, found that demand for their Dartline coach travel services was reducing rapidly and so they bought into Target Travel and both became directors, for a period, alongside Robert and his son within the umbrella of Target Travel, greatly increasing the size of the company. Their Exeter based part of the company registered as Dealtop Exeter is now shown as dormant and will not be providing any transport to Plymouth Argyle.

I see that Tally Ho have taken over some parts of Target travel, not heard anything about if they are going to take over the football specials though.

Coincidentally Target travel are sponsoring the Crewe game their last day of trading.

Poetic or what?

Rob supporting Argyle 'til the very end.

Buy our own coach and get Geoff C. to drive it. Easy.

Just got the 11.50 Stagecoach (whip crackaway!!) from Tavi to downtown BA confidential.

Bus indicator showing next bus as the 12.00 Target Travel: BA via Gulworthy. Ghost bus in the sky?? :think:

Heard tonight that Tally Ho are taking over the running of the team coach,

Served us very well in the 70’s! :scarf:

Does that imply they've bought it? Maybe Argyle have. The reports of Target's problems included the fact that they'd bought the new Argyle coach instead of keeping reserves and doing maintenance.

No idea Kev. Nor do I care, as long as the team get to their win on time. :greensmile:

Are they connected with Trathen's ? (Sorry, I lived away from Plymouth
for a long time, and I'm a bit out of touch)

No Trathens are now owned by a Scottish company (Parks of Hamilton) and the only work they do in the South West is operate National Express coaches.

A message from Target Travel ...
Quote

PAFC Football Specials will be running for the last time tomorrow 15th February 2020.
PA4 will not be operating through Southway, Whitleigh, West Park due to lack of staff, we apologise for this but there will be dupes on the PA3 from The George Park & Ride.
Unfortunately no other operator has come forward to take these routes on but we have tried.
We would like to Thank you all for your loyal support. COYG.

This is on the Crewe Build Up thread,

Thought it would be worth pasting on here.
