Important Update for Our Honiton Customers
Dear Honiton Customers,
We wanted to explain why we have had to make some changes to our opening hours.
The current two-hourly train timetable is having a significant impact on our ability to staff and operate the shop. Two of our four team members who cover Honiton rely on the train to get to work, and with the reduced service, they are unable to arrive in time to open for the early trains.
On a normal timetable, we would see considerably more trains and therefore more customers. At present, the number of trains has effectively been more than halved, which has had a direct impact on our customer numbers and sales.
We have had to adapt our opening hours until the train service returns to normal:
Monday–Friday: 8:30am – 2:20pm
Saturday: Closed
Sunday: Closed
Unfortunately, with the reduced footfall, it is currently not financially viable for us to remain open on Saturdays.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and, as a local business, we really appreciate your continued support.
We sincerely hope that SWR will be able to resume a normal service as soon as possible**, allowing our staff to get to work and, importantly, bringing more passengers back to Honiton.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. ❤️
