National Express has launched a new airport bus service - connecting the county with Stansted Airport.

The service will start at Canterbury before calling at Maidstone, Chatham, Bluewater and Stratford.

The new National Express service is now operating between Kent and Stansted

Operated by Medway-based The Kings Ferry, part of the National Express group since 2007, the number 260 service will run six times a day with fares starting from £8.50 one-way. From Canterbury, it takes around three hours and 25 minutes.

John Boughton, commercial director at National Express, said: “With the rising cost of living we’re seeing more and more people look to us to help them be able to afford to get where they want to be.

“Taking passengers straight to the terminal door, this new service is convenient, reliable and great value - but also good for the environment.

"As well as meeting the needs of our customers, the 260 service will also support London Stansted Airport’s aim to maintain its position as the number one UK airport for public transport use.”
