Taunton's Saturday Christmas Park & Ride


Take a nostalgic trip down Memory Lane during this festive season by hopping aboard Taunton’s unique Saturday Christmas Park & Ride.

Reminisce about the ‘Good old days’ as you are gracefully transported in period style by one of Quantock Motor Services' fleet of beautifully restored heritage buses from Deane Gate Avenue directly to Taunton Town Centre.

Buses on the service include both single and double deck vehicles, each with their own unique history manned by helpful and courteous staff who offer ‘good old fashioned’ high levels of service.
