The Number 38's about!

Award-winning Somerset bus company Vebber is refusing to confirm or deny rumours it's about to rename itself  'Waltzer Buses'.

It's believed the name change could be based on what happens to passengers whilst inside the vehicles.

One of the firm's services is the number 38 through Langport to and from Taunton. Passengers call it 'the rollercoaster route'

"I've got no complaints!" said an Eastover woman, "The punctuality is marvellous! I often fly off in Taunton before I've even sat down."

"Brace yourself going around Wrantage bend though" said a retired plumber from Meadow Close, "my wife and I ended up on the driver's lap for the rest of the journey last Thursday...she was delighted"


In Taunton, 5 Long Sutton shoppers are missing after being forced to jump into the Anne Summers' shop as the number 38 triggered a supersonic bang as it went through. They haven't been seen since...neither has the number 38.


A spokeswoman for Vebber Bus - pictured above - refused to reveal the secret of the firm's success but hinted that it maybe due to the fact that several of their drivers used to test drive the dodgem cars at Bridgwater Fair.

There are no further details at present.
