Kent Coach Visitors

[Chris]

I don't always have much success when visiting Kent's coach parks, but recent travels have generated a few of note. 

Cruisers of Redhill have a pleasing metallic blue for their livery (Arriva, take note...), and seem to have some of Scotland & Bates' "Never See Us Dirty" protective covering. HY20TWV is an Unvi-bodied Iveco, and was seen at Sevenoaks Station on 13th May, a quick capture from behind me as it operated a private school run (presumably from somewhere in Surrey, the same one that continues to Tonbridge). A week later, on 20th May, Yutong YD22 BYC was dropping off passengers outside Tenterden Town Hall. (Do I remember there is a M&D connection to the buildings in the background?)

Also on 20th May, two visitors to Tenterden turned up in the shape of Cooks Coaches of Southend, with their smart VDL VD17 TSE (at St Michaels), whilst from distant Wigan, Greyway's tri-axle Tourismo BU18 YPP had taken up residence in the "station" coach park for the morning.

Allenby Coach Hire are based not too far away from the Kent border in Warlingham, Surrey. Their operating centre just slips into Kent, albeit not into the Club area, at Westerham. On 21st August, their unusual AOS Visigo GX72 BKN was about to pick up a group at Whitstable. This 37 seat example is one of three in the fleet, along with two smaller Ferqui-bodied Mercedes.
