Campus Shuttle: Reduced Timetable

As Friday 29th March and Monday 1st April are Bank Holidays there will be a reduced service operating until 19:15pm.

The service only operates during term time, the service will operate to the usual timetable from the 2nd April until the 5th April (end of term).

The start of term is also a bank holiday (Monday 6th May 2024), therefore a reduced service will resume at 7:35am. The service will operate to the usual timetable for the rest of the term from the 7th May.

The reduced service will be operating a 53 seater coach on the 29th March (Good Friday), 1st April (Easter Monday), and 6th May (Early May bank holiday). The reduced timetable for these dates is displayed below.

For any service updates please follow the @CampusShuttle twitter feed or contact Zeelo’s 24/7 Customer Care team on 0330 808 3306 or email csteam@zeelo.co

The booking system will be live soon! An update on the booking system will be sent before the bank holiday weekend.

Campus Shuttle: 15 January 2024

From 15 January 2024, a new provider (Zeelo) is running our Campus Shuttle service between the Canterbury and Medway campuses.

The timetable isn’t changing but it will take some time to set up the new booking system. So for now, you just need to show your KentOne card (Student ID) to the driver to use the Campus Shuttle. There is no need to book.

Throughout the year we will be working with Zeelo to bring you a new and improved booking system as well as many more exciting developments to simplify how you use the service.

You can still follow the Campus Shuttle X page (formerly Twitter) for any significant shuttle disruptions.
