Educating Medway: New Numbers

[Chris]

Service changes at the end of last year bought two new route numbers to the Medway Towns: 631 and 632. 

The 631 was a new route, primarily introduced to take pressure from the 653 taking scholars from the Rochester Schools to Chatham Station at the expense of those wishing to travel further, whilst the 632 was a renumbering of the afternoon journey of the 132 that back-extended from the schools. 

It's fair to say that my attempts at photographing them so far have not met with a huge amount of success. Leaving aside the grim weather, the 631 has operated early, "Not in Service" or has changed the destination at Chatham to 141, or been in just the wrong place at the wrong time on the one occasion it does seem to have 'followed the rules', whilst the 632 seems to show 132 just as often as it does 632. 

14th January was one occasion I did manage to catch a 632 blind, albeit in the highly unexciting surroundings of Chatham Bus Station.
