Mundane in Maidstone

[Chris]

These may not be as uninteresting as the subject line suggests, but it's my title and I'm sticking to it... 

I hesitantly suggest that 4059 is the last standard-length, classic E200 in service with Arriva Kent and Surrey, although there are many more examples in Essex and two closer to home from Northfleet. It has worn a somewhat modified original Arriva livery for some years now, although it did finally lose the "heritage" Medway Mainline branding it had managed to retain for nearly a decade, and is seen here on route 89 in Coxheath, turning into Park Way on 25th June. 

4126 is one of two vehicles of the next generation allocated to Maidstone, one of which is needed for the H1 and the other of which is usually left free to roam. It was captured here later the same day leaving Maidstone Bus Station bound for Park Wood. 

5467 was transferred to the Kent & Surrey fleet from Arriva the Shires in summer 2024, and is one of only two vehicles in the K&S fleet to carry the short-lived "new" version of the Sapphire livery. It drove in front of my lens on 5th July at the Cannon, arriving from Tunbridge Wells on the 7.
