Routes and timetables will change for some buses in Somerset from Sunday 1st September 2024

Buses of Somerset are adding stops to some routes as part of a twice-yearly network review.

The main changes will affect bus services 25, 28 and 7 in Taunton.

James Eustace, commercial director for Buses of Somerset, said: “Following the wider changes that were made in April, September’s network changes are more minor."

In response to customer demand, the 25 service will now have its connection to Milverton reinstated.

On the 28 route, an additional Saturday afternoon journey will be reinstated, to help shoppers and visitors from Taunton to Minehead.

The number 7 service from Taunton to Galmington has been extended to serve Taunton station, with timings aligned with connecting rail services.

Customer feedback 'welcome'
