Public Transport
Access to public transport is one of Ashford's biggest
assets.
As well as an international Eurostar rail link, we have
excellent train connections to London and the South East. We are
conveniently situated for the UK's two largest airports and
just a short hop on the train from major ferry terminals. The
borough of Ashford is also served by a thriving bus network.
In this section you will find all you need to know about public
transport in Ashford with access to timetables, fares and booking
facilities.
PLUSBUS
The major bus and train operators in Kent have come together to
provide a scheme for local residents which enables travellers to
buy one ticket to cover their bus and rail journey. PLUSBUS gives
you unlimited bus travel around town, at the start, the finish, or
both ends of your train journey.
With PLUSBUS you can make as many journeys as you like on all
participating bus operators services. You can add PLUSBUS to most
train tickets, (single, day return, period return and season
tickets), when buying your train ticket at the station - for bus
travel at the start of your journey from Ashford or Wye, you will
need to buy your ticket in advance.
PLUSBUS not only covers Ashford and Wye but is also available in
more than 225 towns and cities across the whole country,(including
every rail-served town with a population of more than 90,000).
For more information about the exact zone, which operators
participate and how much it costs, please visit the PLUSBUS website and enter "Ashford"
in the search box.
