PARK-and-ride buses will be running on four Thursday evenings in the run up to Christmas.

To support late night shopping in Taunton, Buses of Somerset has announced the park-and-ride services will run on Thursday, November 28, and December 5, 12, and 19.

Buses will run every 15 minutes with the last buses for each site departing from town at 9pm.

A spokesperson said: "The good news keeps on coming...

"Along with partner agencies we are excited to be launching a temporary evening service on the four late night shopping evenings on our park-and-ride service from both sites.

"We look forward to seeing you all onboard.

"Normal fares apply."

The news follows the reinstatement of the Saturday park-and-ride services in the town, which began on November 2 earlier this month.
