285 - Speldhurst - 22/12/22

We are disappointed to say that we will not be serving Speldhurst after 1645 until further notice. This is due to poorly parked cars, meaning the buses risk damage with attempting to maneuver through in the dark.

The last bus from Tunbridge Wells – Speldhurst will be the 16:17 arriving into Speldhurst at 16:36. The last bus from Speldhurst will be the 16:45.

We are in talks with KCC and TWBC currently in order to resolve this. The buses will be terminating at Langton Green Village Hall.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I am unsure whether a bus is running?

Check our Facebook page first as this is easier for our staff to update. If nothing is posted there, please email us at info@hamstravel.co.uk.

Why is no one answering the phone?

At busy times we may not be able to get to the phone, or be engaged on other lines. We will try to answer your query as soon as possible.

What happens in extreme weather conditions?

Flooding, snowfall and high winds can all affect our ability to run a service. We usually aim to assess any overnight changes by 6am, and updates to weather changes during the day will be updated as soon as possible.

How do I know if my bus is delayed?

The best way to track our buses is by using a third-party website, bustimes.org . The tracking runs off the ticket machine in the vehicle and will update regularly provided it has a GPS signal. Services that don't use a ticket machine (closed door contracts) are unable to be tracked.
