Residents of Wells are set to enjoy new, cost-effective bus links to Bristol, as of Sunday, 7th April.

The new services to Bristol are the 374 from Taunton and the 375 from Bridgwater (replacing the existing services 29 and 75 to Glastonbury).

Both services will operate alongside the existing service 376, with a bus between Bristol and Street continuing to operate every 30 minutes.

George Burton, Head of Network for First West of England, which manages services 374, 375 and 376, said: "We believe the creation of these new services, coupled with our frozen single ticket prices and our Tap On, Tap Off technology, which makes getting the cheapest fare for your journey quick and effortless, will encourage more people to make bus the travel of choice."

Bus users can also keep an eye out for a number of other minor timetable changes heading their way.

The changes are part of a bi-annual review of routes by First West of England, and will come into force on Sunday 7th April.

Timetables for the new routes will be published in the coming weeks on the First West of England website, and passenger are urged to check details before travelling ahead of the new services coming into effect.
