Somerset Council will launch a new bus service linking Glastonbury and Street with Castle Cary railway station in June 2026.
The new 667X service will be operated by Somerset Council using a low-floor, accessible minibus.
It will run throughout the week, including Sundays, alongside the 667 service, which already runs from Street to Castle Cary station.
The 667X will connect specifically with trains to and from London, Exeter, Plymouth, Paignton, Salisbury, Weymouth and Gloucester.
Councillor Richard Wilkins, Somerset Council’s lead member for transport and waste services, said:
We are delighted to be able to provide this trial service linking Glastonbury and Street to train services at Castle Cary. Hopefully it will prove popular, as it gives people the choice to leave their car at home and save money.
The aim is to ensure the route is sustainable in the long term and well used, so we need people to make the most of it. We have taken care to tailor the timings so the buses link up with the trains.
Somerset Council is also planning to offer a service from Somerton and Langport to link with trains at peak times.
During off-peak hours, passengers will be able to book the Somerton Slinky (subject to availability) to connect with the 667X at Keinton Mandeville for travel to and from Castle Cary station. This will provide the Langport and Somerton area with a link to the station.
