The stops

In pick-up order

Drops run in the same order, so no dog is away two hours longer than its neighbour. These times are planned; your ticket carries your own window.

These towns are on this route's list and there is no stop there yet. A longer corridor means a longer ride for every dog on the bus, so they open when there is either an independent field at that end or a second run. Register and we will tell you the week we can reach your street.

The field for this route is a private, fully fenced field within a few minutes of the corridor. We name it on your ticket the day the agreement is signed, and no route runs before that is done.

Postcode check

Is your street on this run?

The first half is enough, like BB7. We do not keep it unless you register.

What this can and cannot tell you

It is indicative and it is meant to be: a postcode district covers plenty of lanes a bus is not going up. The operational answer is your address, which a person looks at before your dog’s first adventure. We would rather be generous here and precise there.
