Aah...but do you remember the 376 in the early 1990s?
Only hourly between Bristol and Street, continuing to Yeovil every two hours. There were also shorts between Wells and Street plus the Bridgwater service (163) to make it half hourly Wells to Street. Operated by Lynxes and REs with the occasional Optare StarRider!
Wells is seemingly getting back the services that it lost c.2015?
Ha, almost, but not quite! I first started using it regularly in the late 1990s, by which point the 376 was hourly all the way to Yeovil, with the hourly 163 to Bridgwater, maintaing the half hourly Wells to Street coridoor, plus occasional extras to Taunton on the 29.
The 376 was split in 2000, the southern section becoming the 377, though in reality nothing changed as it was a through service.
Wells is looking healthier now, and I like to think the 126 will complete the line-up, although I dont think it will, so I guess the 29 is the tradeoff. I can't now remember when the 375/377 moved to BoS - can it really have been that long ago?!
