Bit of an awkward place here as there isn't much in the way of onward connections and also the railway station is too far, so we retrace our steps on the 1723 Arriva Kent & Surrey service 176 to Gillingham (James Street Top), arriving there at 1731 on Saturday afternoon.

We walk (3 mins) to King St stop A where we await Arriva Kent & Surrey service 101. Due to the '5 minute rule', we let the 1735 journey pass so board the 1757 journey, alighting at Maidstone (St Faiths Street, stop Q) at 1837 on Saurday.

Predictable move going from Tunbridge Wells to East Sussex :D

Unfortunately, that was the last bus for the day and we are once again too far from the railway station for any other connections. The last departure on the 101 was also twenty five minutes prior. Despite it being before 2300, we have no choice but to automatically apply the overnight relaxation rule, as we return in the morning for the 0947 Stagecoach South East service 20 to Hastings (Railway Station), arriving there at 1009 on Sunday morning.
