Fastrack Infrastructure Schemes

Fastrack is a high-quality bus rapid transit system operating in the Dartford, Ebbsfleet and Gravesham area. The existing Fastrack network has been in place since 2006 and provides fast, reliable and efficient transport across Kent Thameside.

A programme of projects has been identified to deliver infrastructure to complete delivery of Fastrack in the Thameside area.

It is planned that Fastrack will be extended to other districts and boroughs in Kent. We are working with Dover District Council towards the introduction of a Dover Fastrack bus service.
