TAXI OR TRAIN?

Compare your options.

By train

By train from Sheerness, Bournemouth usually means at least three changes: the branch line to Sittingbourne, a train into London, a cross-London trip to London Waterloo, then a train to Bournemouth.

Fine if you're travelling light, but every change means carrying bags and a chance of missing a connection.

By taxi

One vehicle from your door in Sheerness to the address you need in Bournemouth. Luggage goes in the boot, and you leave when it suits you, day or night.

Travelling as a family or group? You pay one fixed fare between you rather than a ticket each, and our 8-seater minibus keeps up to 8 people together.
