===Rail===
Torquay has two railway stations. [[Torquay railway station]] is situated near the sea, close to Torre Abbey Sands. [[Torre railway station]] is situated a little inland adjacent to the road leading to [[Newton Abbot]]. Not all trains stop at Torre. As of 2013, there were plans for station improvements at Torquay and Torre (and at Paignton) and to build a new station at Edginswell.<ref>{{cite news

===Road===
Torquay is connected to the UK motorway network by the A380, which traces the outskirts of the town as [[Hellevoetsluis]] Way and [[Hamelin]] Way, leading to the [[A38 road|A38]] and the [[M5 motorway|M5]] at [[Exeter]]. The A3022 branches from the A380, leading into Torquay as [[English Riviera|Riviera]] Way, to the seafront as [[Newton Abbot|Newton]] Road and then Avenue Road, and then on to Paignton as Torbay Road. The A379 runs past the harbour to Babbacombe and St Marychurch, and then north along the coast to [[Teignmouth]]. Work on constructing a new dual carriageway on the outskirts of Torquay near the Kingskerswell end was completed in 2015 with a new junction between the A380 South Devon Highway and Torbay Ring Road.

===Bus===
The main bus operator in Torquay is [[Stagecoach South West]]. Its service 12 passes through Torquay –  between Newton Abbot and Brixham,<ref>{{cite web |title= Devon – Timetables |publisher=Stagecoach Group |url=https://www.stagecoachbus.com/ |access-date=1 November 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091002094320/https://www.stagecoachbus.com/ |archive-date=2 October 2009}}</ref> – while many other routes operate within the town.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Torquay – bustimes.org|url=https://bustimes.org/localities/torquay|access-date=2021-03-10|website=bustimes.org|archive-date=28 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210528160731/https://bustimes.org/localities/torquay|url-status=live}}</ref> From 1919<ref>{{cite book |last=Morris |first=Colin |title=Glory Days: Devon General |publisher=Ian Allan Publishing |year=2006 |isbn=0-7110-3128-2 |location=Hersham |pages=23–25}}</ref> to 1996 [[Devon General]] ran buses in Torquay.<ref>{{cite journal|date=March 1996|title=Devon companies sold by Transit Holdings|journal=Buses|publisher=Ian Allan|volume=48|issue=492|page=7|issn=0007-6392}}</ref> From 23 May 1965, introduction of the [[one-way traffic]] scheme required buses from Paignton to divert via Abbey Road.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=G.
