Bus

During the pilot phase of Step Ride Thrive, a trial extension to the 668 bus service was funded from 1 April 2025 to 31 August 2026. The service stopped at the Avalon Marshes Centre three times a day as part of the service between Street and Shipham. The bus extension to the marshes was available Monday - Friday and the fare was £3 each way.
