Travel to local NHS Hospitals
Fastrack bus services either directly serve or stop close to the following NHS hospital sites in Dartford and Gravesend. Fastrack has our own dedicated bus roads so you don’t have to wait in the queue to get into car parks or pay parking charges.
Darent Valley Hospital
Parking spaces at Darent Valley Hospital are extremely limited. To avoid waiting for a space to become available, or deal with long walks to the hospital entrance, Dartford & Gravesham Hospital Trust recommend that you consider visiting the hospital via public transport whenever possible.
Our Fastrack route B stops in the hospital grounds, a few meters from the main entrance – so no more long walks across the car park! Route B operates every 12 minutes from 5am to 11pm, six days a week, as well as every 15 minutes 7am to 10pm on Sundays. This route offers direct, fast connections to Temple Hill and Dartford westbound, and Ebbsfleet, Northfleet and Gravesend eastbound.
Overnight, between midnight and 04:30, route N takes over, operating every 30 minutes from midnight to 5am, six days a week, as well as every 30 minutes midnight to 5am on Sundays. This route offers direct, fast overnight journeys to Temple Hill, Dartford, and Gravesend, and extends to The Bridge and Amazon LCY3.
