How It Works
Hi -Tech Bus Stations
Operated by Arriva, Fastrack Route A links with Route B to give travellers in Dartford a wider rapid transport
service and even more reason to leave the car at home. With a fleet of 12 Fastrack vehicles, designed to make the
journey as comfortable as possible, Fastrack Route A buses run up to every seven minutes, seven days a week from
6.00am to midnight.
Every Fastrack bus station is equipped with:
Real time passenger information.
An information point with live Fastrack bus and railway times including travel updates, local news and weather.
CCTV cameras and audio help points.
Ticket vending machines with payment by cash or Smartcard.
Travel in Safety
As well as being comfortable and reliable, the
Fastrack Route A gives passengers the reassurance that they can travel
safely. There are seven CCTV cameras on every vehicle and the bus
stations that ProLogis has built along the route are equipped with three CCTV
cameras linked to a helpline. Each camera is monitored at the control centre
that has been built at The Bridge, so any potential emergency can be dealt
with immediately.
Buying your ticket
Tickets may be bought from the driver or in advance from the vending machines at Fastrack Route
A stops or from Arriva travel shops in Dartford and Gravesend.
All stops on Fastrack Route A are within one single zone (the Dartford and
Bluewater fare zone). Passengers can connect with Fastrack Route B at Bluewater,
Greenhithe Rail Station and Dartford town centre for onward travel across all three
Kent Thameside fare zones.
