Questions?
We have some answers about Road XS mobile apps:
How do I book a journey?
If you have an appointment to meet, book your preferred drop-off time.
Allow plenty of time before your appointment to make sure you don’t arrive late. Note that you may be on the bus for up to 75 minutes.
Can I book for other people?
For all other bookings, including couples, families or groups, contact the call centre.
How can I ensure I spend longer than 1 hour at a location?
To make sure you have enough time to spend at your destination, please keep in mind that the time you select for pick-up and return should include both your travel time and the time you’d like to spend at the location.
Our service may need to accommodate other passengers’ journeys as well, so the transit time to your destination could vary, with some trips taking up to 75 minutes due to picking up other customers on route, although it’s usually less.
To ensure you have enough time, we recommend booking your return trip for a little later than you might originally plan, allowing for the potential travel time. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us for guidance, and we can help you find the best options for your journey.
Where will I be picked up and dropped off?
How will I know my booking is accepted?
Why has my time changed differently to usual?
As our service grows and more people use it, we’ve had to adjust our scheduling to accommodate everyone.
Since bookings are made on a first-come, first-served basis, your usual pick-up time may change if others have booked their journeys earlier than usual.
While we aim to keep things as consistent as possible, sometimes it means that pick-up times may shift depending on availability.
We appreciate your understanding as we continue to expand the service and serve more passengers efficiently.
What happens if my bus doesn't arrive?
If the bus doesn’t arrive, call the call centre on 01773 317173
How far in advance can I book a journey?
You can book up to 1-hour before you wish to travel but short notice bookings cannot be guaranteed.
How much does a journey cost?
What if I need to cancel a booking?
Please provide as much notice as possible.
