@CentrebusLive would you mind sending me a DM please?

@Lewis_7592 I was glad to have that service back home from Margate.

A certain red, white and blue Networker is having a late night coastal visit to Ramsgate tonight 👀

@Se_Railway It’s been following me recently 😂

😍 Our beautiful re-liveried Progress Pride unit [395 012] has been snapped out and about today. Huge thanks to one of our passengers, Bailey who sent over these images!

465910+465039 working IE95 (London Charing X -> Ramsgate (Summer Special) at Herne-Bay Station today. @Se_Railway @SteveWhiteRail

@_mylesw I miss seeing the batch in Medway. Nice little nippy things they were.

Bit of an exciting day today! Did route learning for our new LC14 (starting tomorrow between Hinckley & Fosse Park), and then went to pick up the bus for it from Milton Keynes! Coalville have also gained 3153-3155 for their new routes, and we have now got 3156!

@JDodger1998 @EnsignBusCo That looks amazing

Currently WIP is Bubblegum 99 Gemini 366, Open topper variant is released just yet so hopefully once that is released it’s a case of transferring the textures over to it @EnsignBusCo

@GazMcAllister Are NSAs not updated via the controller then?

And how are you spending your bank holiday weekend?? Me…

@MartinSmith_66 @gocoachhire @ADLbus It also involves the Dart3 route

1st Bus Stop of Gravesend have taken over tendered Dartford town services Dart 1 and Dart 2 from @gocoachhire and acquired two @ADLbus Enviro 200s from County Coaches of Luton. YX15 OXE photographed at Home Gardens, Dartford on the Dart 2 to Temple Hill.

@KentishTrainGuy I thought that it was you driving that when I saw it go past Barnfield

Playing international rescue today, Day off, phone rings as I wake up... Thunderbirds Are Go!

@kyle_gain I hope they don’t 😂 Quite like these ones

@KentTraveller @ArrivaKent See if they stay around or end up being carted off to Leicester or somewhere like that in a few months time 😂😂

On the weekend I had the pleasure of riding one of @ArrivaKent’s newest buses on the 101. These buses have quite comfortable padding on the seats, working USBs and next stop announcement equipment. Another great investment from Arriva.

@Lewis_7592 @robbo84_kltfc Heard that some are going up north to displace the Arriva Max VLAs

@robbo84_kltfc Split half and half. Not sure where 7 are ending up

Walked into work to find 6555, 6556, 6549, 6546, 6545, 6544, 6547, 6553 and 6554 all down as VOR

@Lewis_7592 Why is that in Chatham?

A bit of reuniting happening

@Dan3942 @ThatKentSpotter @northstarbuses We do tend to take great care of our buses

@KentTraveller @ThatKentSpotter @northstarbuses It was already to a good standard for a working bus! I was really impressed - it isn’t needing half as much elbow grease as other buses I’ve acquired did.

🧽🧼 BEFORE AND AFTER 🧼🧽 We’re getting ready for the new school year, this month. That means our double-deck buses are each receiving a full valet and deep clean prior to September. Here’s a before and after of one bus… and our work is not done yet!

@ThatKentSpotter @northstarbuses There was no point in us deep cleaning them as we knew they were going in a matter of months.

@northstarbuses @KentTraveller looks even cleaner than before

@MichaelBev2000 @Dan3942 Ah okay, never knew that lol. Our drivers seem to love it and all of the other fun destinations that I’ve added to the buses.

@KentTraveller @Dan3942 I recognise that bitmap... 👀 I remember creating that for a preserved West Midlands one. Seems to have gotten everywhere since I put it on some of the Hanover groups... 😂😂😂

We’re getting September ready for new contract awards - another Trident joins the fleet… This one has made its furthest ever journey north, in contrast to the others which made their furthest ever journey south on acquisition. 🚌

@Lewis_7592 Are GM doing RRP? Just curious as I saw this tracking on RRGM to Gravesend.

Off on a jolly

@Lewis_7592 Do you play games like omsi or nah?

Miss driving something big so I’m driving a truck in Euro Truck Simulator 2 😂
