latest addition to this exciting transport concept for
Kent Thameside has now arrived.
Route A links Dartford with Joyce Green, the new
development at The Bridge, Crossways Business Park,
Greenhithe Station and Bluewater, running up to every
5 minutes at peak times!
As with the existing service, Route A brings you:
More brand-new, state-of-the-art, vehicles in the well-known two-tone blue
and grey colour scheme.
A frequent and convenient service for Crossways Business Park to and from
Dartford, Greenhithe Station and Bluewater.
A simple timetable with buses running at:
Monday to Friday peak times every 5 minutes

Evenings and Sundays every 15 minutes
Running this often, if you do just miss one, there will be another one along
very soon. Just turn up and go!
High-tech Fastrack stations feature displays that show the actual times of
the next few Fastrack vehicles. Shelters have been designed to make your
short wait as comfortable as possible.
To make your journey even faster, tickets must be obtained from Fastrack
ticket machines before boarding. Please see Page 6 for full details of how to
use the machines.
