Network Changes from 1st August 2026

Irizar in new housing estate

Additional buses will be serving Castle Hill as the B is re-routed along the bus way and away from the A2. There will also be an increase in frequency on the A and N. Direct bus links will also be restored between Ingress Park and Greenhithe with Gravesend.

Timetables and new maps will be published online shortly. New timetable booklets will be available online and in community spaces across Thameside. Contact customer services if your school or community centre would like some timetable leaflets. 

Changes to services from 1st August

  • Route A: Services will run more frequently, increasing from every 15 minutes to every 12 minutes. There will also be some small changes to evening service frequencies, and the route will be extended to serve Dartford Acacia Hall.
  • Route AZ: There will be additional journeys between Gravesend and Amazon LCY3. The stop at Ebbsfleet International will be removed due to low passenger use. Some journeys between Dartford and Amazon LCY3 will operate as Route N.
  • Route B: This route has been changed to operate via Whitecliffe between Bluewater and Ebbsfleet International. This will deliver new direct connections between Dartford and Darent Valley Hospital with Whitecliffe, and more reliable journey times between Bluewater and Gravesend by not using the A2. There will also be minor changes to the frequency of evening services.
  • Route C: The new C Route will replace existing Routes E and F. This will operate every 15 minutes between Ingress Park and Bluewater, with buses every 30 minutes extending to Gravesend via Whitecliffe, Ebbsfleet International and Cable Wharf. This will restore the direct connection between Ingress Park and Greenhithe with Gravesend which was lost following service changes in response to the collapse of Galley Hill. Through ticketing introduced in response to Galley Hill for journeys to Dartford and Gravesend from Ingress Park and Greenhithe via Route B to remain in place.
  • Route N: Enhanced night services. Buses will run every 30 minutes at night, seven days a week, with Whitecliffe served for the first time. In Temple Hill, the route will be slightly changed to run via Trevithick Drive instead of Littlebrook Manor Way and Henderson Drive.
