Only registered members can use the service. To qualify for membership, at least one of the following criteria needs to apply;
• Aged 60+
• Mobility difficulties that mean the individual couldn’t easily use other public transport
Please do give us a call if you want to register for this service.
When does it operate?
Journeys are available at any time, subject to capacity. We’re most likely to be able to help during the middle of the day on Mondays to Fridays, but we can also look at requests for trips at other times, including evenings and weekends. It's unlikely that we'd be able to provide a vehicle between 8am and 9am or 3pm and 4pm on schooldays, however.
Where do journeys go to?
Journeys can be made between any two points within the London Borough of Ealing, up to a maximum distance of 5 miles.
How much does it cost?
The single fare is £5 per person. We offer a special offer rate of £2.50 single to a set destination on one day a week; currently the offer is valid on Tuesdays, to Ealing Broadway.
How are bookings made?
Bookings can be made by calling 020 8813 3210 between 9:30am and 2:30pm on weekdays (not bank holidays), or by emailing .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Requests can be made between one day and three weeks in advance of travel.
How is the service funded?
There is no subsidy for this service. ECT provides it as part of our commitment to helping improve transport opportunities, and we therefore have to use vehicles that are available in between other bookings (for example, school runs). We will often therefore need to ask users to be flexible with their journey times.
