Transport
Bus
The village bus is the Stagecoach route 50, which runs between Long Sutton and Wisbech. The route takes in most of the village, including Rectory Road, Church Lane and Goodens Lane, as well as the High Road.
The daily service to the College of West Anglia in King's Lynn on route 446 has been withdrawn and a new timetable for route 50 was introduced on 7th January 2018.
Community Transport
Fenland Association for Community Transport (FACT) is a not-for-profit organisation in the Fenland area which offers a door-to-door service for people who cannot access local bus routes due to age, disability, living in a rural area with a limited bus service or not having access to a car.
For individuals, Dial-A-Ride is a pre-bookable service operating throughout Fenland six days a week. The service is based on a scheduled route and local residents who have a bus pass can use this service free of charge.
For a group or organisation that requires transport for a day outing, to an event or to enable people to get to a venue, the Group Hire service may be an option. Group Hire enables voluntary groups, community groups, clubs and not-for-profit organisations whose activities are concerned with social welfare, recreation, cultural or similar purposes to hire vehicles with a driver supplied.
FACT is a membership organisation and a yearly membership fee of £10.00 per person is payable to use either of these services.
