Special Rail/Bus Offer for August

The West Somerset Railway and Quantock Motor Services Ltd (the operators of the 300 bus service linking Minehead with Lynmouth) are offering a through service during the month of August with £1.00 off the normal fare for the bus journey.

Holders of a West Somerset Railway ticket (valid for the same days travel as being sought on the bus) will, on presentation of this ticket, be able to travel from Minehead to Lynmouth on the 300 Exmoor Coastal Link for £3.90 return as opposed to the normal fare of £4.90.

To use this facility passengers need to board the 10:25 service from Bishops Lydeard arriving at Minehead at 11:42.  The 300 bus leaves from outside the Railway Station in Minehead at 11:58 giving the traveller just under an hour’s journey over the Exmoor coast, arriving at Lynmouth at 12:52.  Travellers can take a later train, either the 11:10 diesel service or the 12:30 steam service from Bishops Lydeard and then catch the bus at 13:58 getting to Lynmouth at 14:52.  The return journey from Lynmouth for all these travellers starts at 16:58 getting back to Minehead at 17:49, boarding the 17:55 train getting back to Bishops Lydeard at 19:07.

A wonderful day out in West Somerset by public transport at a very reasonable price. (Holders of local residents’ rail card get an even better deal).
