The Bayliss working is from and to Ashford (March Invicta refers). The Stagecoach working from and to Cheriton is a new operation, as far as I know.

Stagecoach now appear to be doing another run to Bakkavor/Tilmanstone Salads this time to and from the Folkestone Area, and I have seen it drivng through Dover Pencester Road at 16:20PM each weekday afternoon over the last 2 weeks, with MMC SN66VVT 10706 usually being the designated vehicle: https://www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/52036318301/, though I don't know whether this has replaced the Bayliss Executive Travel operated run I previously mentioned, which they seem to still operate on Sundays & Public Holidays, including Sunday 24th of April 2022 when Geoff Loyd drove passed me in V44BAY/YA65BMY (with Bakkavor stickers in the window), so I assume he can fill us in on any exact details.

I think there’s some confusion here. The Stagecoach working from Cheriton is BK2. That number, and BK1 for the Thanet operation, is purely Stagecoach internal usage. As we know, the numbers aren’t actually displayed on vehicles. I’m not aware that Bayliss have given any number to their working from Ashford, or that Bakkavor themselves require numbers.
BK2 runs to Tilmanstone (arrive 0530) in the morning, then returns dead to Folkestone. It goes back dead to Tilmanstone in the afternoon for the return trip at 1600. There’s no way that the vehicle and driver would sit at Tilmanstone doing nothing for ten-and-a-half hours!
In fact from tomorrow (3rd) this car will also work the 991, confirming what has been local arrangement since the start of the new term.

The Stagecoach BK3 drove past me again this Monday with GN60FDA 15704 operating it this time, however I have also now observed that the vehicle used appears to run empty to Tilmanstone, which to me seems to be a bit of a waste, considering that I have allways seen the vehicle for the Bayliss operated BK2 running empty through Dover on the way to start their run, and there is also an early morning Stagecoach run back from Tilmanstone that I saw passing my house at 05:50AM last week (while letting a relatives dog out).
