New bus service for medical appointments launches

The service is available in Farnham and the surrounding villages

A new door-to-door transport service has been launched in Farnham, with the aim of making it easier for local residents to attend medical appointments.

"Hospital hoppa for Farnham" is a community transport initiative helping people get from their home to a wide range of hospitals, health centres and GP surgeries between Farnham, Frimley and Guildford.

The service is available in many surrounding villages, including including Badshot Lea, Upper Hale and Runfold.

People who wish to use the service will need to register on the Hoppa website for the first time they wish to travel.

The service has been made possible thanks to funding from several parties, including Farnham Town Council and Waverley Borough Council.

The service will run for an initial six-month period.

Hoppa added passengers can travel to Frimley Park Hospital, Farnham Hospital, the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, Local GP surgeries or any other healthcare facility between Farnham and Guildford/Frimley.
