Today was the start of a one week+ closure of the Maidstone East line
between Borough Green and Ashford, so I thought I would check out what
was being used on the rail replacement buses. In a little over 2 hours
at Maidstone East I recorded the following:

Grange Travel        BF23 CNA, BF23 CNC
Kent Coach Travel    YX20 OGU, YX67 UYG, YX67 UYK, LX60 DXE, FJ08 FYK,
BK10 MFU
Regent            SN15 AKY
Roffey (Starline)    BX04 CKV, YJ10 MDV, YD75 WOB
YMS Travel         Y2 YMS

The service is being run as two routes Maidstone East to Ashford, and
Maidstone East to Borough Green (not calling at East Malling which has a
minibus shuttle from West Malling). There is also a bus from Borough
Green to Sevenoaks for train services to London.

Startline were also using their other Tempo YJ10MDN which has now been re-registered to 969LKM, and has also been repainted into their new "Action Stations" RR paint, and I captured 969LKM leaving Borough Green.
