About Our Cambridge to Thorpe Park Service
If you're planning a Thorpe Park day trip from Cambridge with kids, a university group, or a family of grandparents-plus-grandchildren, you'll quickly run into the awkward fact that there's no direct rail link from Cambridge to Thorpe Park. The nearest rail station is Staines, requiring a London train via King's Cross + London Underground transfer + South Western Railway service from Waterloo + a bus or local taxi from Staines to Thorpe Park entrance — a 3-3.5 hour journey with up to 4 changes for a 62-mile trip. Get London Transfer's £93 fixed Cambridge to Thorpe Park taxi is the door-to-door, single-vehicle, single-driver alternative — typically 1h30m-2h via M11 / M25.
