Planning Your Journey
The links below will be useful to those travelling to our St Peter's Hospital site.
By Car
There is extremely high demand for very limited parking spaces at St Peter's. If you are able to travel in another way, or park off site and walk in, we would urge you to do so and leave a valuable space for someone who cannot manage without it.
By Bus
There are several bus services from surrounding towns and villages that can get you to the Spital Road hospital. The main services are:
- A frequent Monday to Saturday service from 7am until 11pm running from Chelmsford to Burnham on Crouch, covering all villages en-route and St Peter's hospital (No 31X)
- A six day a week service from Maldon to Chelmsford, covering Heybridge Basin, Hatfield Peveral and villages en route (73/73A)
- Maldon to Colchester, six days a week, covering Great Totham and Tiptree (No 75)
- Blackwater Link. A Monday to Saturday service from Witham, covering Wickham Bishops, Great Totham, Heybridge and Maldon (No 90)
- A six day service from Tollesbury to Maldon (No 95).
Extra services also run on specified days of the week linking Maldon with surrounding rural areas including Asheldham, Tillingham, St Lawrence, Woodham Walter and Southminster. In addition, Viking Community Transport is able to arrange for its members to visit friends or relatives in hospital. For further information about this scheme, please contact them directly on 01621 843164.
From the town centre, you can catch a bus to any major local residential area. Other services connect the town centre and Broomfield Hospital with areas out to:
