How it works

Get on the coach near home then hop onto the Elizabeth Line train at West Drayton. We aim to get you into central London by 9:00AM. 

These are the times the coach aims to leave each pick up point in the morning and our target arrival time at West Drayton, then the departure time and target arrival times for the evening trip back to Cirencester, Stroud and Stonehouse.

Please arrive 5 minutes before the departure time listed. At Chalford and Cirencester the coach will leave as soon as waiting passengers have boarded.
