PhoenixCommunity Transport

A proposal, not yet a service. No Phoenix bus runs yet. Registering interest books nothing and commits you to nothing — it shows the councils and funders who would use it.

Register your interest

Tell us where you would travel and when. Every confirmed sign-up goes into the totals we show the parish councils and funders — real journeys make the case for the bus.

It takes about two minutes. We will email you a link to confirm, and only confirmed sign-ups are counted.

Where you live

Town or village If somewhere else, where? (town or village only)

How many people in your household would use it?

Where would you go? Tick all that apply

What for? Tick all that apply

When would you travel? Tick all that apply

A time that would suit you Optional

The timetable is a draft. If a different time would work better for you — an appointment, a shift, a train — tell us and it will be counted.

Get there by

Head home at

Compare with the draft timetable: buses would reach Maidstone East at about 07:25, 10:55, 14:25 and 18:55, and leave it for home at 07:40, 11:10, 14:40 and 19:10, with a late bus from King Street at 22:10.

How often?

Most days
Once or twice a week
A few times a month
Now and then

About your journey

Do you have a bus pass (older person's or disabled person's)?

I would need step-free access a wheelchair, walking frame or pushchair

Could you help? Optional

Drive a village feeder minibus many people who passed their car test before 1997 can already drive one
I hold a full bus licence (category D) the main bus would need professional drivers
Help run it admin, fundraising, publicity, collecting cooking oil

Ticking a box commits you to nothing. We will get in touch to talk it through.

Your details

First name (optional)

Email address For the confirmation link, and news about Phoenix a few times a year at most.

Anything else? (optional) A journey you can't make now, a stop you'd want, a time that would suit you. Only the organisers read this.

I agree to Phoenix keeping these answers to show demand for the bus, and emailing me about it. Only totals are ever published, never names. You can remove your details at any time with the link in our email.

What happens to your answers

The data controller is Martin Anderson, organiser of Phoenix Community Transport (a CIC in formation), hello@phoenixbus.co.uk.

Your answers are stored on Phoenix's own server in Germany (EU), and its encrypted backups are kept with Backblaze in the Netherlands (EU). Our emails to you are sent through Purelymail, an email provider in the USA, which handles your email address to deliver them. Nobody else is given your answers. The totals — how many people, which villages, where and when they would travel — are published at phoenixbus.co.uk/interest/demand and shown to parish councils and funders. Names and email addresses are never published.

If you don't confirm, your details are deleted within a week. Confirmed answers are kept until Phoenix starts running or the plan is dropped, and at most three years. Remove them at any time with the link in our email, or by emailing hello@phoenixbus.co.uk.

If you're unhappy with how your data is handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
