Our interview with Radio Faversham on Sunday 19th May 2024 at the Faversham Festival of Transport

The Faversham Hopper has been providing a much valued community bus service to Faversham and the surrounding villages of Oare, Newnham, Doddington, Lynsted, and Teynham since it launched at the beginning of April 2024. Parts of the routes operated have replaced former “big bus” services that were lost following cuts to subsidies in 2023. The service relies on its wonderful volunteers to drive the fully accessible minibus equipped with a tail lift.

Timetables can be found on this page but if you have any queries on the services, or would like to enquire about volunteering, please contact us on 01795 503286 or email: hopper@favershamtowncouncil.gov.uk
