Changes to Chalkwell 326/327/328 Bus Services from 29th August 2023

The timetable for 326/327/328 bus services between Sittingbourne and Chatham is changing from Tuesday the 29th of August 2023.

A key reason is changes to school finishing times, both in Sittingbourne and Medway, which have been particularly challenging, whereby one bus can serve multiple schools, which change their finishing times independently of each other.

This September, Chatham Grammar is finishing later than previously, whereas Rainham Mark Grammar is finishing earlier. Operator Chalkwell Coach Hire has tried to achieve a reasonable compromise, given the varying school finishing times.

The Saturday 326/327 service will be reduced, but buses will be timed to enable better connections with the 334 service between Sittingbourne and Sheerness.

The new timetable can be found at >> https://chalkwell.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/326-8-chalkwell-timetable-wef290823-web.pdf
