Dartford Bus Services

Explore one of Kent's historic towns by bus

Dartford has a lively town centre with a stellar high street including the Priory Centre and the Orchard Centre for shopping. For families, Central Park is the place to go: there's a playground with water play, climbing and a BMX/skate park. For a night out, try the Orchard Theatre with its year-round calendar of performances or grab a pint at one of the local pubs.

We operate several bus routes in and around Dartford connecting the town with Bluewater Shopping Centre and Gravesend. Why not take the hassle out of finding a parking space and relax on the bus instead?
