Tour de France Park and Ride

There will be 5 free park and ride services available within Medway on Sunday for the Tour de France.

There will be absolutely no on-street parking from Saturday midnight through to the race anywhere along the route.

I have posted a copy of the route in an earlier story on this blogsite.

Medway Council is encouraging everyone to leave their cars at home and use one of the 5 free bus services that will shuttle spectators to the best 3 viewpoints on the route.

The park and ride venues are;

1) Great Lines, Gillingham to the sprint section in Gillingham

2) Beechings Cross, Gillingham to the spring section in Gillingham

3) Riverside Country Park, Gillingham to the sprint section in Gillingham

4) Mid-Kent College Horsted campus, Chatham to City Way, Rochester

5) Chapter School, Strood to Angel Corner, Strood

Buses will be running from 8am to 4pm, every 15 minutes. The last bus back to the 5 park and rides will leave at 3-45pm.

Obviously there will be delays within Medway on race day but Medway Council aim to open up the roads on the route after the race as soon as possible subject to them to being cleaned.
