Tonbridge station

Tonbridge station pick-ups

Tonbridge is the busy main-line interchange, with fast London services and connections toward Ashford, Redhill and the Hastings line. There are cars around, but a pre-booked job still wins when you need:

  • A specific vehicle. A 7-seater, an executive car or a minibus, rather than whatever happens to turn up.
  • A price you can expense. Agreed before you travel, with card payment and a receipt.
  • A late arrival covered. When the last services empty and the wait gets long.
  • A continuation. To a hotel, to Pembury hospital or straight on to an airport.

To make the meet quick, book Tonbridge Station as the pick-up, tell us which London terminal you left and the scheduled arrival, and keep your phone on. Your driver will call to agree exactly where to meet.

Local knowledge

Tonbridge station, the High Street and the A26

Tonbridge is the next town north of Tunbridge Wells, about five miles up the A26 through Southborough. Its station is a busy junction with frequent fast trains to London, which is why so many of our Tonbridge bookings are early commuter pickups and late-evening collections from the station.

Around the High Street, the castle and the River Medway, traffic and parking can be tight at busy times. Tell us exactly where you will be waiting and give a mobile number, and the driver will call when they arrive.

Tonbridge is outside Tunbridge Wells for our fares, so journeys are quoted when you book.

School runs

School runs in Tonbridge

Tonbridge has several large secondary schools, including Tonbridge School, The Judd School, Tonbridge Grammar School and Weald of Kent Grammar School, so term-time mornings and afternoons are busy on the roads into town.

We run school transport for Kent County Council as well as private school runs. In most cases the same driver does the run each day, so children see a familiar face. Parents usually supply the child seat, and we keep it in the car. Every driver is licensed by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and holds an Enhanced DBS check. See school runs or call 01892 888888 to talk through a regular booking.

Everyday trips

Hospital trips, shopping and evenings out

  • Hospital appointments at Tunbridge Wells Hospital in Pembury or Maidstone Hospital, with wait-and-return if you ask when you book.
  • Into Tunbridge Wells for The Pantiles, Royal Victoria Place, the Assembly Hall Theatre and Tunbridge Wells station.
  • Around Tonbridge for the High Street, the castle, the riverside and Haysden Country Park.
  • Late finishes after a meal or a show, booked ahead so you are not waiting on a cold platform or kerb.
