Supported by over two hundred and fifty photographs, most not published before, of nearly every bus route as well as most London express services and all the operational garages, this book reveals the contrasting nature of East Kent's services from rural byways to the seasonal, but very busy routes serving the still-popular resorts around the Kent coast.
This book encapsulates East Kent's services and operations of over fifty years before being swept away by the monolithic standardisation of the National Bus Company.
Gives a summary of the Centenary celebrations of the East Kent Company in 2016.
