From Sunday 1 April 2024, we will be introducing new timetables across our network as part of our twice-yearly network review.
Working closely with Somerset Council and local user groups, the changes take into account amends to the 25 and 28. These include retiming evening services on the 28 to align with trains serving Taunton station, as well as the X28, a new express service from Taunton to Butlins in the summer.
In addition, a brand new service 22B will serve the Wellesley Park area of Wellington.
Please see a list of what is changing below:
| Service | What is changing |
| 22/22a/X22 and New 22B |
A new service (22B) will operate every two hours serving the Wellesley Park area of Wellington. It will operate as the 22 between Taunton and Wellington, Rockwell Green then will continue back along the Oldway Road to Swains Lane/Barn Meads Road. |
