The Totnes community bus was piloted in 1997 after a chance remark made by a visitor to the Totnes Information Centre. She was complaining that the main shopping street was very steep and was not easy to walk up, especially for the less able shopper. She asked whether anyone had thought of the possibility of having a small shuttle bus which took passengers to the top of the town.

Since the group and the service have gone from strength to strength and is arguably one of the most successful community bus groups in the country. It now owns 3 buses, one of which continues to service the town and one which is hired out to town groups

The Tally Ho! story stared back in 1919 when a small holder and rabbit farmer called James Henry Clark (Jimmy) who lived at the Mounts bought a lorry to transport his rabbits to market. In 1923 he bought a new bed for the lorry which converted the back into a coach for use at weekends .

In 1933 after discussion and advice from Bill Wellington he bought a proper bus (a 6 year old De-Dion Bouton 20 seater) to run senior school children from East Allington to the Kingsbridge schools. He called it the Tally Ho! Sunshine Coach and started running day tours at weekends.

Tally Ho has been an important part of the South Hams for a long time touching the lives of many people whether taking them to school, out for a trip or simply taking them to work. The Company has had varying reputations ranging from quality travel to notorious breakdowns! Throughout our history we have always been the archetypal "local business" and long may it continue.
