Hospital Transport

Fairfield Park is served by two hospitals, Bedford General and Lister Hospital at Stevenage. Making your own way to either is a test of endurance by public transport. This link will help you plan your journey.

However, Lister Hospital operates a Health Shuttle from Monday to Friday. This is a subsidised door-to-door service for staff, patients and visitors from Arlesey, Clifton, Henlow, Shillington, and Stotfold to the Lister. Booking line available: Monday – Friday 8.15am – 5.15pm Tel: 01438 726219

There is also the Trust-run voluntary car service. (For this service you need to check eligibility at the Hospital or at your GP surgery.) This is a transport service co-ordinated by the Trust using volunteer drivers to transport eligible patients to and from health appointments. Customers are charged a rate per mile from the driver’s home to the appointment and back again. Customers in receipt of certain benefits do not pay.

For the Lister hospital car service ring Tel: 01438 286586. Booking line available: Monday to Friday 10:00am – 12 midday. Closed on public holidays
