SOMERSET County Council has announced some changes to the temporary bus service introduced, following the cease of WebberBus trading.

The authority stepped in after the company suddenly announced it was ceasing trade on May 12.

The changes will take effect from tomorrow, Wednesday, May 25.

A spokesperson for the county council said: "In most cases there is no real change apart from some additional journeys.

"However the the 37/375 service from Bridgwater to Street will be running to a significantly revised timetable.

"Please see the new timetable in the list below.

"Also, service 16 will depart from Cannington to Minehead 2 minutes earlier than before.

"All services taking students to schools and colleges will continue as at present."

Below is a list of the affected Webberbus services, and replacements where they have been arranged.

The county council said it will keep this page updated as replacement services are added or changed, and that it apologises for the disruption that this has caused.

Webberbus tickets that are in date will be accepted by Buses of Somerset and First West of England until their expiry date.
