Call Kentax on 01628 201381 or book online, tell us your train time and where you are going, and we will send a car to the station. We run a 24-hour service from The Parade, so this works for the first train of the morning and for late arrivals.
Is there a taxi rank at Bourne End station?
No. The station information published for passengers states that Bourne End has neither a taxi rank nor a cab office, and that advance booking is essential. The station is small. It sits on Station Road (SL8 5QH), and the ticket office is open Monday to Friday from 6.15am to 1.15pm and on Saturday from 7.15am to 2.15pm. Outside those hours there is no one on site to help with onward travel, so arrange your taxi before you board.
