Visited Castle Cary Station with @sarahdykeld.bsky.social where buses can now drop off passengers safely within the station complex.

Discussed the need to improve the bus connections so more people could connect with trains without needing to drive by car to the station.

TELL SOMERSET COUNCIL TO SUPPORT OUR BUS SERVICES

Somerset Council is consulting on what should be the Council’s spending priorities&where it could make savings.As this chart illustrates,Somerset currently spends far less on supporting its bus services than do our neighbouring rural authorities 1/4

In 2025, single fares in Somerset will cost no more than £3 single fare and, on many shorter journeys, you are likely to pay less.
