    Good bus territory?

    From another thread about Stagecoach in Thanet. What makes good bus territory these days and are there any areas where operators have 'beaten the odds' by creating an attractive service?

    Bus services you think are useless.

    Back in the day the 77 was an Arriva route which ran Tunbridge Wells - Tonbridge - Kings Hill (and on to Maidstone on Sundays in place of the 72). The Mereworth extension might be a replacement for that.

    Stagecoach South & South East

    Is it also fair to say the rail service is better than in 2000?

    UK switching to electric vehicles discussion

    There is though (and I've got one). Cars have external negative effects whatever their type of propulsion.

    Taxing road users by mile

    Exactly - one near me has equal numbers of pumps and chargers now. It also has a Greggs and a small supermarket so perfect 'while you charge' businesses.

    Just noticed this thread has been going for 15 years - is that a record?

    I have seen a few second gen Micras around - they must be very reliable!

    Stagecoach South & South East

    From looking at the map Thanet looks tricky to serve as it's polycentric between Margate, Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Westwood. Plus there is already a train through to Canterbury. What are the main destinations for bus passengers?

    A genuinely old one today - 1961 Morris Minor soft top. Sorry no photo as it overtook me :)

    Car Tourist (Motorail in the 1960 years)

    I went past Olympia recently, there was some construction work and a temporary yellow road sign which said Motorail on. I guess someone copied a relic sign without checking what it was actually for!
