Roehampton Transport Club (RTC)
Roehampton Transport Club (RTC) is our new free community minibus service.
About the service
This new council-funded minibus service is designed to help people in Roehampton to get around if they have difficulty using public transport. It provides door-to-door accessible transport to a rotating selection of local amenities and destinations.
The service forms part of our Alton Renewal Plan for investing in Roehampton and the Alton estate, working with residents and local partners to help this part of the borough thrive. RTC is operated by Wandsworth Community Transport on behalf of Wandsworth Council.
Who it is for
Roehampton Transport Club is most suitable for people who:
- Have some form of mobility limitation (the minibus can accommodate wheelchairs and mobility aids)
- Struggle to carry shopping home
- Have no existing public transport option
But, if you have any difficulty using public transport to travel to your destination, RTC is for you.
Exceptions
Children under 5 years old who need a child seat and cannot use an all-age seatbelt.
Do contact us if you have a specific requirement and let us know if you need space for a child buggy.
How it works
Roehampton Transport Club operates as a door-to-door service. Any address or location within Roehampton ward can be requested as your pick-up/drop-off point.

Bus service to Roehampton Asda
We run a bus service to Roehampton Asda (on the A3) every Tuesday.
This service is very popular. Booking a regular place means you can travel comfortably without having to use public buses.
Special outings
Special Outings will run throughout the spring and summer and these are listed below. Destinations include:
- Kew Gardens: Usually costs over £20 just to get in, but ride with us to enter for free including transport
- Weybridge Garden Centre: Located in the Surrey countryside (45 minutes away) and has great eateries and a wide range of shopping opportunities
- Isabella Plantation and Richmond Park: The azaleas and rhododendrons are beautiful in May and well worth a visit. Round it off with a nice cup of tea and a cream scone at the Pembroke Lodge
- Worthing and Eastbourne: Everyone needs a nice day-out in the summer and there will be more coming later in the year
