From 29 November 2021, a Clean Air Zone (CAZ) will be in place in Portsmouth to make the city’s air cleaner. This may affect your travel to the port, please check our FAQ for more information.

Portsmouth has two stations: Portsmouth & Southsea and Portsmouth Harbour, both of which are close to the port. Taxis from the train stations to the port cost around £5. Please allow plenty of time to make it to the port.

There are regular coach services, operated by National Express, from the terminal building to London Victoria and Heathrow Airport. From London, there are onward connections to the rest of the UK. We recommend buying tickets in advance. Local bus services are operated by two companies: Stagecoach (bus 20) and First Bus (buses 8, X4 and X9).
