Kings Ferry to keep serving Newman Drive bus stops


 

As most of you may be aware from the 27th October 2014 on the Sittingbourne
Route The Kings Ferry has announced that they shall not be serving any stops
down Newman Drive no longer.

There answer is due to health and safety they belive that it is not safe no more to
do the reverse turn at the bottom even after 20 odd years. Even tho others companys
such as arriva buses use this route day in day out for just as long. I am sure if this was
dangerous the general public Swale and Kent County Council's would have somthing to say.

We have spoke to coach company Chalkwell they will contuine to serve these stops.
Now it might make people realise Kings Ferry customers is failing its customers.
At the moment not willing to change there minds.

Here we would like to get as many people as possible to get them to realise how many
use the stops down this road. They changed the timetable and made a new decision
on this new route change even tho they did not even do a survey to ask how there
customers feel about this. This new timetable ads 15 minute walk each way on some
peoples commute to london.

 

Also Chalkwell on there website let you try there services for free if people wanted to
compare journey times bearing in mind you will have to walk an extra 15 mintues to
get home now on Kings Ferry. http://chalkwell.co.uk/commuters/free-trial/
