Travel to Chilton

The Waterloo Interchange is ten minutes walk from the School.  Students are able to travel by train to and from Upper Hutt.  Those students who live in Wellington and the inner city suburbs can also travel by commuter train and walk to and from School.  The Waterloo Interchange is also the terminus for a number of public bus routes.

Students who live in Wainuiomata use a public bus to the Waterloo Interchange in the mornings.  In the afternoons, this bus stops by the School on Waterloo Road.

Students who live in Eastbourne and the Bays are able to access a public bus service, operated by Classic Coaches Bus Company.  This service operates to and from the bus stop outside School.

Students who live in the Whitby, Paremata, Plimmerton, Papakowhai and Pauatahanui districts use a bus service, operated by Runciman Motors, for both Chilton and Hutt International Boys’ School pupils.  In the morning, these buses pick up students from the nearest public bus stop to their home and provide a service ‘to the door’ for each School.

Runciman Motors provide a bus service for Chilton students only, from Upper Hutt, Silverstream, and Stokes Valley, thus providing students in these districts with the choice to travel by bus or train.  Runciman collect students from public bus stops and bring them to School.  Students are collected from the bus stop outside School at the end of the day, stopping at public bus stops on their return.

Other buses stop at the Westfield Shopping Mall, which is located in central Lower Hutt, ten minutes walk from the school.

Bus services are not privately contracted by the School.  If you require more specific details of the transport services to your home area or you wish to purchase a bus pass, please contact the relevant bus company listed below:
