Useful Local Information

Thamesdown Bus Image
Bus Services
Information on times, fares etc for Thamesdown Buses which conect Haydon Wick with other parts of the Town can be found at http://www.thamesdown-transport.co.uk/.
If you have a mobile phone, you can also use the new text message service which will tell you when the next bus is due to leave from your stop and this means less hanging around at bus stops or arriving just as your bus leaves. The system is easy to use. Simply key in a bus stop code, which will soon be found on all borough bus stops, and then text it to 84268. A text message is sent telling you when the bus will arrive.

How it works

To find out the times of the next buses from the Haydon Centre (Furlong Close stop) to the Town Centre you would type in SWIAMWD

Then you would send the code to the number 84268

Within 20-30 seconds a reply will return with information on the buses using the stop

Charges are 25p plus whatever the charge is from your service provider.
