How our service works

Luxury Reliance coachPicking up from a number of locations in the Gravesend area of North Kent, we drop our commuters off at various London locations between Canary Wharf, the City and the West End.

The services operate from Monday to Friday, excluding Public Holidays. You'll travel in comfort and safety - we operate high-spec executive coaches with experienced drivers.

The timings of our departures to and from London are designed to suit the work patterns of the majority of London bound commuters.

Our fares offer excellent value for money, particularly if you opt for a weekly, monthly, six-monthly or annual season ticket.

You don't need to book a seat - just turn up and climb aboard. You can buy Single tickets (and books of 10 Singles) from the driver. Other tickets must be purchased in advance. You'll find full details below.

Our coaches are wheelchair accessible. One passenger in a wheelchair can be accommodated on each coach. Passengers wishing to travel in their wheelchairs must book at least 48 hours in advance, as space is limited and we need time to reconfigure the coach. You'll find more details about our wheelchair accessible coaches on our Coach Hire page.
