noticed on the faq page that bloc will be running coaches from taunton to minehead.
what times are these at on the friday?
i can never make any sense of the bus timetables on firstgroup!

Saw this link somewhere else. Looks like every 30mins or so:

We're still waiting for Bloc to give us the details on the Shuttle Bus - last year they posted a thread on here giving a phone number to call and book tickets on the bus. Nothing so far this year though.

Anytime now would be good for the info please Mr Bloc....

I sent BLOC email an email about Thursday shuttle buses from taunton to minehead... whats happening here, are there any?

[BLOCwknd]

Yes shuttle buses meet each train on Friday. They will also be running at 5pm, 6pm and 7pm on Thursday.

[meschi]

Thanks for the prompt reply Bloc. Our train gets into Taunton at 10 to 6, so if we miss that one, we'll grab a pint

[alritelad]

any idea of cost? or are they free?! what are the other alternatives for travelling on thursday if we don't make the last bus? another one around ten would be pretty sound for the workers travelling from london!

[meschi]

they were free last year.

[BLOCwknd]

Butlins operate them. I thought they were £5 each way last year.

[meschi]

shit, they probably were. I was fairly drunk by the time I got there and fairly done in by the time I left.

ignore me.

£5.00 each way

[CBE303]

Butlins operate them. I thought they were £5 each way last year.

Indeed - they were £10 return last year, I think it was £6 single, but do we need to phone butlins (like last year) to book seats, or do we just turn up and pay as we get on?

I (and I’m sure lots of others) would really appreciate some clarification on this please bloc.

[meschi]

hmmm, yeah I dont remember phoning Butlins.
clarification is needed definitely

[ogriff]

We're getting a train out of London on the Thursday at 6, so presumably won't get to Taunton til 8... does that mean there'll be no bus to meet us?!

[BLOCwknd]

I will mention this to Butlins. I'm sure they will continue running the buses while people are still arriving.

Will keep you posted.

[tiraquon]

i won't be getting into taunton by train until just before 9pm.
will there still be buses around that time?
i see some times up to around 10pm on that timetable but i can't make any sense of it! i'm useless >:(
