Travelling from London to Wells, Somerset

[Karen2005]

What's the best way to travel from London to Wells in Somerset by public transport?

[Gwennie]

Probably a train to Taunton, then a bus to Wells

There's one national Express coach a day - leaves London at 7pm, returns at 655am

Bath would be the best place to transfer from train to bus - Taunton involves travelling way beyond Wells to come back again.

Buses leave Bath every hour from 905am to 705pm, taking an hour and a quarter. Less frequent on Sundays.

A train to Bristol then a bus to Wells would be quickest and cheaper. The bus from Taunton takes ages to get to Glastonbury let alone wells. Dzug is wrong though, the bus goes Street Glastonbury then Wells, it doesnt go beyond to come back again. Going from LOndon to Weston and then by bus would also be quicker.

Bus 376 leaves Bristol for Wells from stop "Tf" outside Temple Meads station, Mon-Sat times xx00 and xx30 past each hour until 18h30 then every hour (hourly on sunday), journey 65-75mn depending on traffic.

You misunderstood me goodsoulette - what I meant is that if you go via Taunton you are travelling well west of Wells on the train before travelling back east on the bus to get there.

If you travel via Bath or Bristol you keep travelling in the right direction.

Thanks everyone. I guessed there were various ways of doing the journey when the B&B told me one thing, the tourist office something else and my own internet research came up with something different altogether!

I guess I'll look at the various price options with a train to Bath/Bristol and also the various timings with connections etc.

I was told the bus journey from Bath to Wells is very pretty?
