Community Travel Clubs

Hartlepool Council has started Community Travel Clubs to help people get around.

What is a Travel Club?

A Travel Club is a group that helps people in the same area travel together. These clubs can be set up by:

  • Local groups

  • Transport helpers

  • Parish Councils

How Does It Work?

  • The club asks its members what kind of travel they need.

  • The council will help by providing transport or arranging it with other companies.

  • The transport is flexible – it can go to different places when people need it.

How Much Does It Cost?

  • The cost of each trip is set before the journey.

  • People using the service share the cost.

  • Prices may change depending on the journey.

What Vehicles Are Used?

The council has different types of vehicles, like:

  • Big buses (up to 70 seats)

  • Small buses (16 seats)

  • Vehicles that are easy to use for people with wheelchairs or walking aids

These vehicles are available:

  • Evenings

  • Weekends

  • Outside school hours

Private bus and taxi companies can also help with transport.
