Arriva will be making timetable changes to try and improve the reliability of one of its routes.

The bus company will be altering the timings of its Fastrack A service, which operates between Dartford, Greenhithe and Bluewater.

The changes will come into effect on Sunday, April 7.

From Monday to Friday, buses before 9am will both start and terminate at Greenhithe Station.

This means the first bus to arrive at Bluewater will be at 8.55am, and the first to leave the shopping centre will be at 9am.

Before 9am, the frequency of services between Dartford and Greenhithe has been increased.

The Fastrack A timetable will remain unchanged throughout the rest of the day, and early morning buses will continue as normal at weekends.

Passengers travelling to Bluewater before 9am on a weekday will need to get off at Greenhithe Station, and pick up the Fastrack B service there.

The move comes after Arriva launched contactless payments in Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley earlier this year.

Brand-new eco-friendly vehicles were also launched on its Sapphire routes - the 480 and 490.
