Slinky Bus Service

New Slinky bus in Somerset

Digital Slinky Transport is now being rolled out to Sedgemoor (covering Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea and nearby villages) from 18 August, funded through the Government’s Bus Service Improvement grant. Taunton and Wellington will follow in September, with further expansion dependent on future funding. Digital Slinky allows passengers to book via an app just one hour in advance, rather than 24 hours, with phone bookings still available. The service runs Monday–Friday, 7.30am to 5.30pm. Information on how to register and book can be found here: https://www.somerset.gov.uk/roads-travel-and-parking/slinky-services or telephone 01823 331 266
