Journey planning
Transport
Direct (external link) offers information for door-to-door
travel for both public transport and car journeys around
Britain.
Transport Direct allows you to:
- Compare public transport options with a car route to find a way
of travelling which best suits your needs.
- Obtain a car route that takes into account predicted traffic
levels at different times of the day so that you can make informed
decisions about when to travel.
- Get an estimate of the cost of a car journey.
- Buy train and coach tickets from affiliated sites without
having to re-enter your details.
- Use PDAs and mobile phones to find out departure and arrival
times for railway stations throughout Britain and for some bus or
coach stops.
- Calculate carbon emissions for a car or public transport for a
specified journey.
Transport Direct works together with both public and private
travel operators and local/national government. Transport Direct is
operated by a consortium, led by Atos. The non-profit service is
funded by the UK Department for Transport, the Welsh Assembly
Government and the Scottish Government.
