Dial-a-ride in Midsomer Norton and Radstock
Bath & North East Somerset Council, the Countryside Agency
and the Rural Transport Partnership hope to be working together
soon to provide a door-to-door transport service in the Midsomer
Norton area aimed at helping those who cannot use conventional
public transport.
The Dial-a Ride scheme will be based on the success of a similar
scheme in Keynsham started in April this year.
The community Dial-a-ride service in Midsomer Norton will
operate on similar lines to the service in Keynsham. A fully
accessible minibus provides door-to-door transport for members of
the community who cannot access conventional public
transport. Potential users have to register in advance with
the service and can then book transport the day before the trip is
needed. Full details of how to register will be publicised
before the service starts.

All on board the 782 from Tyning to Paulton:
The popular 782 bus service, which runs between Tyning and
Paulton via Radstock, Westfield, and Midsomer Norton has
recently taken delivery of a new low-floor bus which will
make access for passengers much easier.
The service is financially supported by Bath & North
East Somerset Council and has been run on behalf of
the council by local bus operator Somerbus for over four
years.
“The low floor offers easy access and will make it so much
easier for anyone with impaired mobility. Older people, parents
with buggies and anyone carrying heavy loads will all find it much
easier to get on board.”
For more information on the 782 service please call 01225
