1. Taunton – Bishops Lydeard – Williton - Watchet (national network to Norton Fitzwarren Junction, West Somerset Railway beyond). Once per day each way, this will be extended with Taunton - Castle Cary or Taunton – Castle Cary – Frome.
2. Castle Cary – Yeovil Pen Mill – Yeovil Junction. Once per day each way, this may be extended with Frome – Castle Cary. Twice per day each way, this may be extended with Yeovil Junction – Sherborne – Templecombe – Gillingham; twice per day each way it may instead operate Castle Cary – Yeovil Pen Mill – Thornford – Yetminster – Maiden Newton – Dorchester West. These extensions may be needed to make efficient use of capacity, or to add regularity to services from market towns.
No more than every two hours; timings will be subject to discussion with GWR with the aim of approaching an hourly clockface service for Yeovil Pen Mill. First departure from either Frome or Castle Cary between 0500 and 0630, last arrival at Frome or Castle Cary between 2100 and 2230. This service is dependent on GO-OP securing rights for mainline Taunton – Swindon services which are the subject of a separate application.
