What you only find here

Booking sites say "just over a mile". We worked out the walking routes on the map, including how much of them has no pavement or no street lights on the map, and read the official bus timetable data, so you know until when the bus runs back to Staines station. Trains onward from Staines we did not check.

Your trip, your hotel

Pick the one that fits

Late evening in October

On the October days in the timetable the 950 runs back to Staines station until 23:45. That only gets you to the station: check your train from Staines before you stay late.

Walking from Chertsey

About 26 to 30 minutes, with stretches of road without a pavement or lights on the map. Not a nice walk in the dark.

Coming by train

Get off at Staines and take the 950. From Staines station it is almost an hour on foot.

By car

Then the Chertsey and Staines hotels are a short drive. We did not check parking for this page.

Good to know before you book

  • Not checked: trains from Staines after the last 950. The bus times on this page do not promise you get all the way home; check your train before a late evening.

  • The 950 only runs on set days. In the official timetable data these are 9, 10, 15 to 17, 19 to 24 and 26 to 31 October and 6 to 8 November 2026.[4] Reported by official source
  • On 6 to 8 November 2026 the last 950 leaves Thorpe Park at 19:00.[10] Reported by official source

Times, routes and fares can change. We show what the official source said on the date we checked it; always check the operator before you travel.

How we know

Every fact has a label

Measured by us

Someone from our team checked it on the spot, for example walked the route with a stopwatch. We say when.

Calculated from map data

Worked out from OpenStreetMap, for example a walking time along the footpaths. Good, but nobody walked it for this page.

Reported by official source

Taken from the airport, the transport company or the hotel's own website, with the date we checked.
