The 326/327 bus route provides a very important link between Sittingbourne and Chatham. Chalkwell say the new timetable changes are nothing that should cause alarm, with no loss of service between Sittingbourne, the villages and Medway, and that overall they think this is a much better offering.
From Monday the 8th of April 2019 there will be a number of service improvements that should benefit current and potential users, of particular benefit will be parents whose children go to school in Medway because the changes take into account the revised school finishing times for Rainham Mark Grammar School and Chatham Grammar School for Girls.
Chalkwell has highlighted what they believe to be the main benefits of their new timetable as:
• Improved connections with the Arriva services from Sheppey and Iwade, meaning that customers have a greater choice of journeys from the Island to the Medway Towns.
• The 326 journey that starts in Sheerness will commence from Sittingbourne, although will connect with the Arriva 334 service.
• Improved 327 and 328 journeys for pupils attending Sittingbourne schools.
• Improved journey times for pupils attending school in Medway, such as Rainham Mark Grammar School, The Howard School and Chatham Grammar School for Girls.
• More consistent and memorable departure times from Sittingbourne and Chatham.
Managing Director Roland Eglinton commented:
“We have taken a long time to plan these changes, and we think they will benefit a lot of people. We also plan to make some vehicle investment in the coming months, updating what is currently used on these services”.
