When you go on the Traveline website (travelinesoutheast.org.uk), use the Find a Timetable button, then put in the service number and Stagecoach in East Kent as the operator. It will then bring up a link to the timetable. The problem with the 68 timetable is that whoever at KCC entered it mucked it up and you have to look at both the inbound and outbound to get the full picture. Once Stagecoach put timetables on their website, they will be much clearer!

Keith, Traveline is nothing to do with Stagecoach. KCC input the information for services in their area from details lodged with the DVLA by the operators. The problem with Traveline is (a) it relies on computer logic and (b) it's only as good as the stuff that's put into it.

I seem to remember a bench in front of the former public bog now used by the Temple Ewell players for storage Sue. If someone is at the bus stop maybe someone less mobile could get there ten minutes before the bus is due and rest up until it arrives.

Not heard anything from our county councillors, would think that those representing rural areas could have tried to put pressure on.

I think that the beloved member (how appropriate) for Dover and Deal doth protest too much. It is the way of the tories (John Major in particular) to privatise and cut public transport.
The bus companies now, in the main, are private businesses and should run at a profit, this is the current government sponsored ethos. If they run at a loss, they will go out of business, and only the people who use the bus service really care about the cuts. This is the tory way.

Oh, I thought the Tories were fond of buses:
Either that, or the goofy one's a failure.

On the bus to Dover using my 'free' bus pass. I always wondered how poor people get around.
Loadsa pensioners on board so faint smell of 'wee' but it's a hot day so windows open! What's not to like?

Maybe you should treat yourself to some incontinence pads.
