*Thrash + Hillclimb* | Journey on route 423 | Arriva Kent Thameside 6202 FJ08LVS | Wright G1 B9TL

A bit of a long journey on Arriva Kent Thameside route 423 with a driver flooring it down the country roads. This route is also set for its daytime to service to be withdrawn in October this year and it won't see itself on the roads in the foreseeable future after that.

Why tf are kcc getting rid of a load of routes, it used to be every hour now it's every 2h 15mins next it's gonna be withdrawn - wtf is wrong with kcc

[@will_n775]

489 is going, 474/475 is going

[@regenplus5464]

Yeah tbh this is what I'm wondering too because it's gotten to a point where they are cutting/withdrawing a lot of routes within Kent and its just really strange by the looks of it as they did seem to do the same thing years back where a route which went from Bluewater to Tunbridge Wells got withdrawn, and when a route which went from Bluewater to either Luton/Rainham got withdrawn too and its just pretty odd tbf. But then again these routes could be getting withdrawn because of "low usage" but whenever I pass them I see a lot of packed buses that are doing the designated routes that they are withdrawing so I just find that confusing really

@@will_n775 Mhm sadly those three routes are getting withdrawn too, one of the other Northfleet routes which is the 477 was bound to have its day service fully withdrawn in October but then that withdrawal was scrapped and the route is gonna continue to run normally. This was also going to go to Go-Coach but then that got revoked too which means that Arriva will continue to run it

Yeah it sounds knackered for some reason, I believe it was one of the G1s in Northfleet that were on VOR for a bit
