abstract	West Malling doesn’t have a bus station as such, but the wide “market area” in the High Street, provides a useful turning point for quite large buses and serves as a terminus for a number of Bus Routes into the town from the Maidstone and Tonbridge directions. Currently the Nu-Venture bus operates a regular bus service to and from West Malling Station via West Malling High Street from Kings Hill, Mondays to Fridays starting at 06:00 and running till 20:41. The Service is synchronized with the Train arrivals and departures. The recently opened new A228 dual carriageway will from December provide an access route for buses and taxis to the station, and will enable bus services to run through the station for the first time. ARRIVA buses have announced that from 4th December 2006 they will be rerouting the 72, 76 and 151 bus services to run between the A20/A228 junction and West Malling High Street via the bypass, West Malling Station and Swan Street. This will provide 3 journeys an hour in each direction giving new bus service links to the station from surrounding residential areas. However, there will be a reduced service from Town Hill (about 1 bus an hour) as a result of the rerouting of these services. Following are the Bus Companies serving West Malling and its hinterland taken from their Web Site Information. Number Of Train Stations West Malling has only one station, which also serves the neighbouring areas. Housing and business developments in the West Malling hinterland (particularly Kings Hill) has resulted in this station having one of the highest passenger growth rates in the South East. However, the shortage of parking at the station has resulted in commuters resorting to using other nearby stations (e.g. Borough Green) as an alternative. There are plans to provide a further 280 parking spaces at the station in the near future. There is no coach park facility in West Malling. Lack of this facility would impact any program to develop tourism further in the area. It is just possible that a small part of the existing Manor Park car park might be utilised for this purpose. Such a proposition would need appropriate controls and agreement with Park Authorities etc. The table, below taken from www.kent.gov.uk/research shows percentage West Malling households without a car. The average for all parishes in the Malling Action Partnership (MAP) Area was 13.1% about 1 in 8 households, that is those households relying on Public Transport. Whilst Offham (7%) & Kings Hill (2%) are at lower end of households without cars, West Malling (22.1%) at the higher end probably due to higher number of residential care homes.
