Park and ride services from Taunton’s Silk Mills site will need to be temporarily rerouted from next week due to ongoing Wales and West Utilities (WWU) work in the area.
WWU are carrying out a major renewal of the gas mains in the Bishops Hull and Silk Mills area and Somerset Council is supporting this vital work.
Due to the need to close Mountway Road at the junction with Silk Mills Road (which will not be served during this period) from 28 July to 16 August for the next phase of works, buses operating from the Silk Mills Park and Ride site will need to be re-routed.
The alternative route from Silk Mills will need to be via Staplegrove Road and Tangier Way but due to time constraints, buses will not be stopping until they reach Musgrove Park Hospital, where they will follow the usual route into town, and on to the Gateway site.
Journeys from both Silk Mills and Taunton Gateway will be affected, so we would advise all users, particularly if you are heading into the town centre or to Musgrove Park Hospital to plan ahead and allow more time for your journey as the frequency of the service will be impacted during this period.
