Taunton Park & Ride single tickets are only £1!
Patronage on the Park and Ride service from Gateway (M5 J25) via the town, Musgrove Hospital and Silk Mills to the West continues to rise along with a 6.2% footfall increase in Taunton. The service runs every 20 minutes until 8pm Mon-Fri (6pm Saturday) then less frequently until 11pm (Mon-Sat) using the 1E for Silk Mills and 30 for Gateway (M5 J25). The double decker service is well used by both visitors plus those who live on the route but there is always room for more!
