Taunton-Bloc-Taunton shuttle buses

Post by violinvoice »

Hello,
I've found this on the site
We will be operating regular shuttle buses from Taunton to BLOC which take 40 mins.
And have a few questions concerning the buses.

1) I'd like to know the timetable for Friday and Monday. Especially when do buses start operating on Monday, cause we need to get the specific train at 10.30am from Taunton.
2) What is the cost of the bus (return trip)?
3) Do we need to pre-book it somehow (how? can we do it on-line? is it for specific bus or in general, so we can get any bus?) or we can just show up and pay on board?
4) Where can we find these buses in Taunton? How can we distinguish it from other buses?

Thank you very much for answers!

I also asked on facebook and was told they haven't heard from Butlins yet, who run the buses.

I replied saying I'd been to ATP at Butlins and that the buses were available to buy soon after tickets went on sale but got no reply.

Does anyone know if these buses are normally free for BLOC or what? I know there are public transport buses as well but I don't think they can handle a couple of thousand people arriving within a few hours.
