East Kent 19135 New Thanet Open Top Livery

[Martin Smith]

This year service 69 at Thanet is being marketed as the 'The Thanet Open Topper', with a new livery based on the current steel blue scheme with the addition of light blue, images of local scenes and route branding. The new livery has been applied to fully open top ADL Enviro 400s 19135/6 and part open top Scania OmniCitys 15101/3. Also of note is the addition of a 10-year anniversary logo to the right of the centre door. 

The route has been cut back from Cliffsend to Ramsgate Boating Pool and now operates through Broadstairs town centre serving the Queens Road and Pierremont Hall stops. It then follows a new diversion to avoid the bridge at the station via Carlton Avenue, Stanley Road, Callis Court Road and Grange Road to rejoin the original route on Beacon Road.  

Full open top 19135 was photographed at Canute Road, Minnis Bay setting off on the last trip to Ramsgate this afternoon.
