All you need to do is park your car in one of the park and ride car parks, then hop on to a smart bus that will take you into the town centre. Park and ride buses are scheduled to run regularly all day long. The buses will drop you off and collect you at the Friary bus station, which is very convenient for shops and offices.
On the Artington, Merrow and Spectrum services, there are low, floor-access buses. Buggies can be wheeled straight on to the buses, even double buggies. The buses are spacious inside with extra room for your shopping. Toilet facilities are provided at Artington and Merrow.
