Plymouth safe bus set for new location

The Safe Bus in Plymouth is being moved to a new temporary location.

The bus, which is usually in the city on Saturday nights from 10pm until 4am on Sundays, can now be found at bus stop DC2 Derry’s Cross roundabout outside Timber Vault Escape Rooms PL1 2TE.

The change is due to the ongoing road works on Royal Parade, which have effectively moved all the existing bus stops on to Derry’s Cross. This work is planned for the next nine months.

Plymouth PC Deb Hart said: “The bus is staffed by a team of paramedics, security guards and nearby taxi marshals who ensure anyone trying to get a taxi can get home safely. It provides a general safe space, medical provision, drink spiking tests and phone charging facilities. The power on the bus is charged by solar panels."
