Nu-Venture's 151 continues to provide bus links along the Medway Valley, with a variety of different variants, particularly on a Saturday. For the main part of the week, buses either run direct along the A228 or via Cuxton village and Upper Halling, whilst on Saturdays, some journeys extend beyond Kings Hill to Mereworth, cycling Chatham - Kings Hill direct, Kings Hill - Strood via Upper Halling, Strood - Mereworth via Upper Halling and Mereworth - Chatham direct.
Having got me to West Malling earlier in the morning of 23rd May, E200 804 returns northbound to Strood from the forecourt of West Malling Station, whilst after an hour or so of photography later, stablemate 810 pokes out beyond the shadows having just turned into Swan Street from the High Street/marketplace.
