ROCHESTER BUS EVENT - Thanks to all the crowds who turned up in today’s sunny Rochester to see and ride on the huge variety of buses, old and new, and especial thanks to the bus owners for making the trip to Medway!
Thank you to everyone who supported the Nu-Venture bus event earlier today in sunny
#Maidstone
. Grateful to vehicle owners, visitors and above all to the Nu-Venture staff who worked so hard to create a great day out for folks.

Few seem to know that the law requires users of these emergency lay-by to use the phone there to contact motorway control when ready to resume onward travel. Control will then put the ‘Red X‘ on Lane 1 so as to avoid the dangerous situation which you describe.
Glad you enjoyed the bus ride over the North Downs.
A challenging route for our drivers and for the buses themselves - not many ‘hairpin bends’ on bus routes in SE England!

A month on -
- KCC report a late surge in sales of the KCC Travel Saver (their annual all-operator scholar pass).
- Numerous local coach operators hired in by bus companies to supplement the reduced capacity available on school-time buses
- vacancies for drivers!
Nu-Venture were delighted to support Metroline’s charity open day at Potters Bar on 28 July, in a repeat of our July 2017 visit.
This year, one of our once-Metroline buses operated three return trips between Potters Bar and Hatfield Station, shown here.
We welcome everyone to travel on our buses but please note carefully that all passengers must pay a fare or show/scan a valid pass.
If you are a passholder, please do not embarrass our staff by asking to be allowed to travel without showing/scanning a valid pass.

Nu-Venture evening bus 155 welcomes all valid Arriva return and season tickets (but sorry, not the Arriva South East day ticket).
@BusAndTrainUser
Hopefully our 58 driver was abundantly clear on the planned arrangement, and not at fault? Tweet suggests otherwise?
I will bring the issue to Kent CC’s attention.
In order to properly serve all the villages in the West Malling hinterland, buses need to U-turn in safety at the High Street stops, as well as to draw right in to the kerbside there for the benefit of less-ambulant users.
We welcome all efforts to bring this matter to attention
@SalopianLyne
Fascinated by the very tidy departmental (ex-BFK/BSK) behind the loco - rare to see such a vehicle in such good condition!
And do I spy Commonwealth bogies (?Surely not?).
Do you, by chance, have a better picture of it? and/or an ID?

151’s new timetable is designed to provide the most reliable service possible in prevailing traffic conditions. It’s been suffering very significant recent disruption during Medway Council’s Strood regeneration works.
Bus 151 is also suffering regular M20 works congestion at J4.

.gov.uk are always keen to receive reports on items like this (but you would need to state a location!) and they are often swiftly dealt with by their current contractors.

Sorry for any confusion but the ‘connecting’ stop for the onward (westbound) 58 is not the one photographed (which we call Sainsbury’s) but the next stop west (described in the timetable as South Aylesford Retail Park, Homebase) where there is more space for buses to pull in/wait

@Buses_McGills
Shame. You may remember Alan Westwell’s black bus interiors in latter Strathclyde PTE days; looked a bit grim - but at least deterred or hid any graffiti.
Hope the windows have sacrificial film on them??
Pleased to have supported CATCH THE BUS WEEK today in Maidstone by manning a stand in Chequers Centre with industry colleagues from Arriva and Bus Users UK.
