Rail Replacement
Keep passengers moving with flexible coach and minibus transport for planned works, cancellations and unexpected disruption.
Reliable Rail Replacement Bus Services
Disruption rarely gives you much notice. When trains are cancelled or services are disrupted, a rail replacement bus can help passengers continue their journey with as little inconvenience as possible.
The Kings Ferry provides rail replacement transport for planned engineering works, unexpected cancellations and other interruptions to rail services. From a single vehicle running between two stations to a larger operation covering several stops, we can arrange transport around the service you need.
Support when rail services are disrupted
Some disruption is planned months in advance. Other situations need a much quicker response.
Our team can arrange coaches, minibuses and drivers for temporary replacement routes, helping passengers get from one station to the next or complete the rest of their journey by road.
For planned works, we can help organise routes, timings, pick-up points and vehicle requirements in advance. When plans change at short notice, our experienced operations team can help get a practical rail replacement service in place.
The right vehicles for the route
Passenger numbers and routes can vary, so having the right vehicle matters.
Our fleet of coaches and minibuses ranges from minibuses to 77-seat coaches, giving us the flexibility to support quieter routes as well as larger passenger movements.
For operations involving buses replacing trains across several stations, The Kings Ferry is also part of The Coach Travel Group, a nationwide network of regional coach operators. This gives us access to additional support and vehicle capacity when it is needed.
Experience behind every journey
The Kings Ferry has been moving passengers since 1968 and has more than 55 years of experience in coach travel. Over that time, our teams have managed transport for businesses, airports, universities and major events, including large-scale operations involving thousands of passengers.
