Coach travel from Totnes, Ashburton and Exeter to London for the Restore Nature Now march
Sat 22 Jun 2024 4:30 AM - 11:00 PM
Totnes Railway Station, TQ9 5JR
Description
Rivers choking on pollution, precious woodlands destroyed, seas overfished & peat bogs burned.
Nature in the UK is being assaulted.
But the Restore Nature Now demonstration aims to show a unity of voices across the nature and climate sectors. For more about the march, visit the webpage: https://www.restorenaturenow.com/
By going by coach we travel as a united community and potentially make positive local connections with other groups.
Traveling by coach is also an act of solidarity. By buying a coach ticket, you ensure the coach gets booked; supporting those with lower incomes to participate.
These are the current estimated travel times. Please ensure that you arrive on time, as the schedule is very close to the legal time limit that drivers are allowed to spend working.

No hot food or alcoholic drinks are allowed on the coach. Cold food is permitted.
Note that the coach is scheduled early enough for stewards to get there, but there’s a question on the booking form about the time you need to arrive by. If tickets sell out quickly, and there’s enough demand for more, we may be able to put on a second coach that leaves later, for the people who don’t need to get there quite so early - but do book now and be prepared to make the early start to avoid disappointment!
Unless you have plans otherwise, the southwest is designated as the Water section of the march. As such we should assemble at Hyde Park Corner - and try to wear appropriate fancy dress!
If needed you can claim the XR Travel Bursary here, but we ask that everyone pay the full cost if they can: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVyADbMeoPcWQwBecgM269UZCM8-nxnsimUjB2ETcv9tX0Og/viewform
