East Kent 15705

East Kent  15705

 

 

With the impressive backdrop of Sugar Loaf Hill behind,  East Kent Scania E400  15705 is seen here on service 73 climbing Park Farm Road towards the Sainsbury’s superstore.

On it’s circuitous route towards Hawkinge, it will then travel along Churchill Avenue and encircle Sugar Loaf on the steep climb via the A260, and enter Hawkinge

via Spitfire Way before serving the many residential areas of the rapidly expanding village.

 

Rostered for operation by three Optare Solo midibuses, the 73 is frequently operated by larger vehicles, and on this day could boast 15705, a Volvo B10M and a former Cavendish Dennis Dart.

It is certainly a successful route, and provides many new and useful links including Park Farm and Cheriton, for the residents of Hawkinge.

Consistent investment in the Folkestone fleet by Stagecoach East Kent is obviously proving to be very successful, with further major enhancement of service frequencies expected to be

introduced in the very near future.
