A new ‘superfast’ coach service linking Burnham-On-Sea to London has launched this week, raising hopes that it will boost tourism and trade in the town.
Berrys Coaches has begun the brand new service, which takes less than three hours.
“Passengers can travel from Pier Street in Burnham to Hammersmith in London,” said Berrys Operations Director Ian Daniells.
“The journey takes a little under three hours, and all coaches have a host/hostess service.”
“Period returns are as little as £25 and less for children and senior citizens. The service will initially run from Friday through to Monday, and will be expanded as demand grows.”
Burnham’s Tourism Manager Ian Jefferies welcomed the news, telling Burnham-On-Sea.com: “Berrys have listened to demand from holidaymakers and locals in Burnham. We hope that the new service will encourage more people to visit the town.”
“I hope that people get behind them and support this fabulous service. Tickets can be obtained from BiARS, the Burnham tourist information centre, seven days a week from 10am-4pm.”
