09.10 service from Borstal

Arriva have introduced a 09.10 service from Borstal in response to our protests at the service cuts. It should start from Monday 9th May. As this new service will start from Borstal and not Maidstone, it should mean there is room for pushchairs and for people who get on in Borstal and Rochester to sit down. I will continue to appeal for more services if you let me know which ones are missed most.

Success! Here comes the 155...

Bus timetables are now up on the bus stops outside the Baptist Church and St. Matthews's Chrurch. Sometimes making our local community a better place starts with small steps. Arriva was aware that the bus stops needed timetables but Borstal was not a priority. When I started my chocolate business, I learnt that being polite but persistent is often the best way to get results. I made regular phone calls to Nick Turner at Arriva and kept a good record of the promises made to ensure that our request was taken seriously. Happy travelling!
