£10,000 was required to launch the service and fund the first six months of the Shuttle’s operation – until passenger fare income covers the operating costs. The Working Group secured £4,000 from: the Parish, Borough & County Councils; a Community Travel Grant; Chobham Business Club; and, Chobham Carnival Association. The County Council bridged the remaining gap with £6,000 to launch the service. The Working Group is very grateful for the support of these organisations to provide a valuable new transport service to the community.

In summary, the main operating details of the service are:

• Aimed at: commuters, people who work in Woking (or Chobham); early/late shoppers; pupils/students getting to Guildford or Chertsey by train.


• Morning service: 7:15am to 9:00am on a half-hourly schedule (direct to Woking Station).


• Evening service: 5:00pm to 7:30pm, every 25 minutes (to/from Brewery Road – 6 min walk from station).


• Route: Village loop = Woking – Station Road – High Street – Chertsey Road – Delta Road – Bowling Green Road – Windsor Road – High Street – Station Road – Woking.


• Fare: £1.95 each way –Woking’s car parking charges are currently £1 per hour (up to ~£10 per day), making the shuttle a very attractive alternative to driving.


• Tickets: pre-purchased from Chobham Post Office in carnet of 10.


• Chobham Community Interest Company (CCIC) is promoting the service and any profits will be used for the benefit of the village.


• The service is operated by Woking Community Transport (the Bustlers) on behalf of CCIC.

This is an exciting and innovative project that could make a big difference to our community, but to be successful, it needs to be used by you. (Click here to download the flyer – see right).
