Bus Service Steps in To Fill Weston-super-Mare Timetable Gaps

North Somerset Coaches has stepped in to fill a big gap in the seasonal timetables over the new year break.

The firm will operate a replacement service on bus route 353 from Weston-super-Mare to Bristol on New Year's Day as no service will be provided by First Bus.

North Somerset Council's deputy leader and executive member for transport, Elfan Ap Rees, said: "This is just one example that demonstrates that by working in partnership with our local bus operators we can provide a service aimed at benefiting everyone."

Buses will operate to the same times as the normal Sunday 353 timetable.

Buses will leave Weston town centre at 7.55am and then at 45 minutes past each hour. Buses leave Bristol bus station on the hour.

Towns and villages served include Worle, Hewish, Congresbury, Claverham, Cleeve, Backwell, Flax Bourton and Long Ashton.

There are special fares for everyone, with a maximum return fare of just £5.
