The 567 is a new trial bus linking Street, Glastonbury, and Butleigh with Castle Cary Railway Station alongside the existing 667. Connections in Keinton Mandeville between the Somerton Slinky and the 567/667 will also be possible to enable people in the Somerton area to use the service. The bus will run 7 days a week and late evenings (Mon-Sat) making connections with the last train to and from London possible. The timetable has been specifically designed to connect with trains to/from London all-day as well as some other trains including Gloucester, Exeter, and Plymouth services. It will be operated by Somerset Council’s own fleet and fares will be capped at £3 for a single. The 567 is due to start around the end of June. 

​

The Route

The 567 will run from Glastonbury to Castle Cary town centre via Street, Butleigh, Keinton Mandeville, and Castle Cary station. 567 services will take the fastest route from Butleigh to Castle Cary station which passes through Keinton Mandeville as well as other villages. 667 services will take a longer route via Baltonsborough and Barton St David as they do currently.

A trial bus numbered 567 will start operating for around 6 months running 7 days a week including late evenings. This will be a fantastic and long wanted link between Glastonbury & Street and Castle Cary Railway Station. However, if not enough people use the new service, there's a big risk that at the end of 2026 the trial could be deemed a failure and the service withdrawn. Therefore, the bus needs as much promoting as possible to ensure patronage meets the required level for the service to continue!

Any time you can spare to help promote the service would be much appreciated. We're looking for volunteers to attend TrainLink Promotion days in Street and Glastonbury. These will take place around the start of the new bus service and the exact days and times are TBC. If you are interested, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/94Rv1rSFFNbQ2KdQ8
