How It Works

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.
