Title: Bus connections off the Exeter to Salisbury line Post by: grahame on February 26, 2022, 11:07:12 From my email, from the Somerset Bus Partnership
Quote At Crewkerne yesterday I was given a sheet with a QR code pointing to https://smartsurvey.co.uk/s/IG8JLF This looks like a survey about access to stations and modes of transport for the journey to and from the station. There is an option to answer questions about bus services, and particularly questions about needing bus services in the evenings and at weekends. It would be great if as many people as possible could fill it in and call for frequent buses to our local stations, and buses in the evenings and at weekends. Can you pass this on to anyone you know who can help - and fill it in next time you go anywhere by train? There are many town and villages linked (or potentially linked) to the Exeter to Salisbury line - "The Mule" by bus and a survey such as this is a useful way of highlighting connectivity by road public transport, actual or potential. From Exeter St. Davids (with buses to Bude) through to Salisbury (with buses to Stonehenge and Devizes) ... also looking at connectivity to Beer, Bridport, Budleigh Salterton, Chard, Charmouth, Dinton, Lyme Regis, Ottery St Mary, Seaton, Shaftesbury, Sidmouth, West Bay, Wilton, Wincanton, Yeovil (Town) and Yeovilton. Have I missed anywhere?

It is nominally run by Beaminster Town Council https://bustimes.org/services/cb3-bridport-beaminster-yeovil Title: Re: Bus connections off the Exeter to Salisbury line Post by: JayMac on February 26, 2022, 14:57:07 Milborne Port, Henstridge, Stalbridge, Sturminster Newton, Shillingstone, Blandford Forum (Buses of Somerset X10 from Sherborne).
