this is my write up on the 20 years of nu - venture in the medway towns bus rally that took place in the acorn wharf coach park in rochester, kent on 30th december 2017. i hope you enjoy reading! -
kicking off the 2018 rally season in style was the eighth annual south east bus festival. taking place at the detling show ground in kent as part of the heritage transport show, the event promised an exciting array of vehicles both old and new, and my expectations were high for the event .
below: stagecoach south east also kindly brought along 3 vehicles to the event, two of which were stagecoach in ashford, east kent centenary bus 15443 kx08kzk (scania n230ud / enviro 400) on the right and stagecoach in hastings wave branded 10723 sn66vwo (adl enviro 400 mmc) on the left. photo copyright sebeg alex .
you can buy a selection of tickets on your arriva bus, from single tickets, to weekly saver. please try to remember to have the correct far as the drivers may not always have change and then all you need to do is find a seat, sit back and enjoy your journey .
speaking of buses, the event had an excellent range of buses with a great mix of old and new vehicles attending. some of the youngest vehicles at the rally included sullivan buses enviro 200 mmc ls66sul, sullivan buses enviro 400 mmc rc17sul and locally based arriva sapphire liveried enviro 400 mmc yx17nej. even a borismaster turned up at the event to give free rides, and there was a far traveller at the event in the form of brighton and hove chestnut tree house liveried gemini 472 bk13oau. at the other end of the spectrum, you had plenty of older vehicles attending, including a pair of aec regals, an aec swift, an ensignbus aec regent and a couple of aec routemasters amongst many more vehicles from the 70s, 80s and 90s. above: a nice lineup of modern vehicles at the event included arriva sapphire adl enviro 400 mmc yx17nej, sullivan buses adl enviro 400 mmc rc17sul and sullivan buses adl enviro 200 mmc ls66sul. photo copyright sebeg michael amos .
some services will be given new numbers and some routes will be linked differently .
the other tabs summarise the changes specifically for those areas affected by the changes .
new timetable leaflets for the services that are altering will be available well in advance of the start date and the new times will be available online by mid - july .
by increasing the frequency of sapphire services 480 and 490 to run to and from valley drive every 7 or 8 minutes, we are able to give riverview park more buses by routeing alternate sapphire buses from valley drive via st. hilda' s way to riverview park, instead of continuing to mackenzie way .
this will double the number of buses serving riverview park and will bring the benefits of our sapphire service to the area with buses that have free on - board wi - fi, three - pin and usb power points next to each seat, next - stop audio - visual displays and eco - leather seats .
the fifteen - minute service provided by sapphire service 480 will provide extra links from riverview park to gravesend, northfleet, swanscombe, greenhithe, stone and dartford .
existing service 499 will continue to run every fifteen minutes but will be renumbered 481 and, after perry street, will take a quicker route to bluewater. it will no longer serve ebbsfleet international station .

there will be some changes to the services that run through northfleet, incorporating more frequent buses on some routes and alterations to the route and number of others .
one of the main changes is that sapphire services 480 and 490 will be increased in frequency to give a bus every seven or eight minutes between greenhithe, swanscombe, northfleet, gravesend and valley drive .
beyond greenhithe they will also run more frequently – every fifteen minutes to dartford and every fifteen minutes to bluewater .
at valley drive, alternate buses will either run every fifteen minutes via st. hilda’s way to riverview park, or every fifteen minutes to the existing terminus at mackenzie way .
with the late night and early morning service 480 / 490 buses already proving popular we are introducing extra buses during the middle of the night so that the service will run twenty - four hours a day, seven days a week, giving a two - hourly service between dartford, bluewater, gravesend and valley drive through the early hours .
following the trial use of double - deck buses to sapphire specification on these routes, we will be adding another four such buses to the fleet for the 9th august changes, all fitted with free on - board wi - fi, next - stop audio - visual displays, three - pin and usb power sockets next to each seat and eco - leather seating .
you can view the new sapphire 480 / 490 map here. brand - new buses for fastrack the times of fastrack b through northfleet will be largely unchanged but the peak - time frequency on mondays to fridays will be increased so that buses will run every nine minutes, retaining the ten - minute service for the main part of the day. brand - new low - carbon buses will be entering service on fastrack b during july, bringing additional features to the route, such as three - pin and usb power points by each seat, eco - leather seating, full rear destination and service number displays as well as free on - board wi - fi and next - stop audio - visual displays .
other services in the northfleet area the route of services 306 / 308 will be shortened so that they will run only between gravesend, meopham, borough green and sevenoaks. they will, however, continue to serve northfleet, swanscombe and bluewater during the evening and on sundays. for details of major changes to the routes and service numbers of services 495, 496, 498 and 499 through the perry street, coldharbour, durndale farm, painters ash, pepper hill, springhead and castle hill areas of northfleet, please see details under the ‘coldharbour, painters ash, pepper hill and perry street’ tab .

with last year’s event proving to have more than twice the number of buses there had been at the past five rallies before that, many enthusiasts had high expectations for this year’s event, especially with this year being promoted as happy harold’s 90th birthday celebration. did the event deliver ?
in terms of buses, last year’s event had only just a few more vehicles than this year, but there was thankfully still a great range of buses of differing ages, ranging from the aforementioned 90 year old trolleybus ‘happy harold’ to an example of a 2017 wave branded scania mmc that belongs to the yn67 batch. perhaps the only notable absentees this year were rambler of hastings and paul houselander’s open top bristol vr rvb977s, but paul more than certainly made up for it with what he brought in replacement of it -
, an ex stagecoach alexander rl volvo olympian that has not been out at a rally for almost two years after entering preservation. we had almost given up hope on it, so it was a very special surprise when it appeared and something we were not expecting at all !
a total of 28 vehicles attended this year’s event. photo is copyright of michael amos .
above: at the end of the day, there was a beautiful lineup of classic preserved ex - stagecoach vehicles. from left to right is preserved ex stagecoach alexander rl bodied volvo olympian n386lpn, preserved ex stagecoach alexander rl bodied volvo olympian n389lpn and preserved ex stagecoach alexander ps bodied volvo b10m l345kck. photo is copyright of michael amos .
plenty of cars were also on display at the event and there were plenty of stands with a decent variety of models. everyone who helped to organise the event deserves a pat on the back as many smiling faces were spotted around the venue. i think we can all agree that happy harold had a lovely 90th birthday party !
this is my article on a great day out at the 2018 south east bus festival on 7th april 2018. i hope you enjoy reading! -
above: preserved northern counties bodied dennis dominator 15032 h132gvm, now owned by the town and district transport trust, is seen on display at the event .
in terms of preserved buses, there were many first timers in addition to many of the regulars, including the aforementioned h132gvm, the recently repainted g29tgw and the recently acquired l345kck, an alexander ps volvo b10m that i had the pleasure of travelling on to the event. but the star of the show - in my opinion at least - was n389lpn, a recently preserved alexander rl bodied volvo olympian that has been repainted into the stunning stagecoach stripes livery .
above: privately preserved alexander rl volvo olympian 389 n389lpn is seen on display at the event .
above: an impressive display of buses and coaches is seen at the event. believe it or not, this was just one of several rows of vehicles !
away from the buses themselves, the event had a great selection of bus memorabilia in the clive emson conference centre; there was what seemed like an infinite amount of bus models, old timetables and pictures to choose from and buy, not to mention the very well laid out model displays. plenty of food outlets were also available to cater for the large numbers of people. all areas of the event worked together to create an excellent day out. with the display numbering up to 150 vehicles and all other aspects being very well organised, detling can definitely be described as one of the best days out there is for a bus enthusiast .
being held in the middle of winter in rochester, the 20 years of nu - venture in the medway towns bus rally was a welcome event that helped to keep bus enthusiasts satisfied while the official rally season is not taking place. i was accompanied to the event by sebeg members harry h & harry p and his dad while good friend of ours, george green kindly took us up in his preserved dennis dominator n715tpk. sadly alex was not able to come on this particular occassion .
first of all, the change in venue for this year’s event must be commended. while i did not attend last winter’s high floor running day in medway, i was able to gather from pictures that the event was held outside gillingham asda, and the buses were just lined up at the bus stop behind the supermarket. this year, the organisers wisely moved the venue to acorn wharf coach park in rochester, which is more of a proper setting for a bus rally, and this change in venue meant that more buses could attend .
above: preserved former derby city transport volvo citybus e153bto, now with bromley bus preservation group, is seen departing the showground on a free service. photo copyright sebeg michael amos .
the event programme itself was a lovely souvenir to take away from this rally, but i did have a little bit of trouble finding out where they were being sold, resulting in me having to ask several people. a sign telling visitors where the event programmes were being sold would have been welcome. in addition to this, i would liked to have seen more bus models being sold; i could only find one stand that only had a handful of models for sale, which is small when compared to other rallies i have been to .
but, to be completely honest, i am nitpicking at this point; this rally was extremely well organised, and it had a great variety of vehicles on display and on the road. the organisers must be given a huge pat on the back for making this event such a success, and i would love to see it return in the years to come so it can become a holiday tradition for many enthusiasts .
good evening all. over the past week or so, and yet to come there have been many interesting, exciting and also rather sad movements across the stagecoach south east division. we have combined and put together a clear list of all of these movements which can be seen below. this is not limited to but includes twelve brand new adl enviro 400mmc bodied scania n250ud double decks which are due to enter service in a few weeks on wave service 99 between hastings and eastbourne. it is believed eastbourne will have three of these, with hastings having nine. we hope you find this list of the latest and soon upcoming movements useful, and if you have any queries or comments feel free to contact us. please bear in mind that although some of these movements have already taken place, and some vehicles are already in service at certain places, some of these have not yet taken place and are unlikely to at least until the new scanias enter service .
the fleetlist pages will also be updated accordingly for each depot in the near future. if we know of any updates or alterations, we will update you all where we can !
we hope this update is helpful and of use to our viewers. thank you very much for reading and we hope you all have a great weekend .
hello all! firstly, thank you to all those who brought along your lovely vehicles, visited the event, or helped to organise the hastings trolleybus restoration group’s bus rally on sunday, 21st of may. it was a fantastic day with a smile on most people’s faces with very positive comments passing around the grounds! the lovely weather certainly encouraged people to come and also the appearance of hastings trolleybus’ happy harold dy4965. a very impressive total of 36 buses and coaches attended on the day, including some rather far travellers. the event would not have been as great as it was, had it have not been for everyone that played an important role there today so we thank you all. we really hope next year is just as great of a success and we have every confidence that it will be! we hope you all enjoyed yourselves and had a good time! if you did not manage to come to the event this year, we have compiled a list below of all the buses and coaches that came along to hastings bus rally 2017. - alex fairweather, the sebeg
