West Norfolk Community Transport Project
is a service that provides transport into Kings Lynn weekly on Tuesdays. This transport was set up to provide a bespoke door to door service for anyone who through no fault of their own are unable to drive, have no personal transport or may be no family member able to take them out.
All our mini buses are equipped with a rear passenger lift making it possible for people of all types of needs to utilize the transport, including working animals and pets.
To travel with us you must first be a member of West Norfolk Community Transport. There is an annual fee of £10.This is a pre bookable service and your seat must be booked by 3pm the day before you travel.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide free transport, therefore we have to make a charge for the seat booked.
Our drivers happily help with assistance, if need be, to get on and off the bus, they load the shopping onto the bus and will carry shopping to your door.
We have had a lot of feedback from our regular members whom have told us “The service is outstanding and I don’t know what I would have done without you. Now I have my independence back”. Many people just enjoy popping into the town for a coffee just to get them out.
You must be a member to use the service - £10/annum and unfortunately a charge for each individual booking.
