Somerset Council listed singles and day returns on this route for adults and children when it last published its fares.

Ticket types come from Somerset Council's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 23 March 2023 — over 3 years ago, so what is sold today may differ. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Somerset Council.

Christmas & bank holidays

These dates are not the usual timetable for the day they fall on. They come from the operator’s published data, which for Christmas and New Year is often late or incomplete, so check with Somerset Council before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.

Not published yet: Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
