Slinky — bookable local transport
Somerset Council operates Slinky, a demand-responsive, bookable service in Sedgemoor and other areas. It may help with shopping, appointments, social visits and connections when a normal bus does not meet your needs. You must register; journeys on digital Slinky services can generally be booked at least an hour ahead, up to two weeks in advance, subject to service area and availability.
See Somerset Council’s official Slinky information ↗ to select the Sedgemoor area, check your address and register or book. Slinky is not a fixed-time bus route, so no departure timetable is shown here.
Before leaving home
Check the direction of the stop: East Brent Village Hall, Church Road and Lympsham Turn have different boarding sides. Times can be changed at short notice, especially for college-only services, roadworks and holidays.
