Following our long and hard fought campaign, I am so thrilled that today marks the start of the 477 bus route trial, stopping at Bluewater and Darent Valley Hospital.
Last week I met with staff and management from Arriva, including the Network Manager Tony Bull. I boarded the bus in Swanley, and stopped off at Hextable and Wilmington, so I could meet the local councillors who worked so hard to secure the trial including Kent County Councillor Perry Cole, Leader of Swanley Council Michael Horwood and Swanley Town Council Chief Executive Officer Ryan Hayman, as well as Wilmington Councillors Av Sandhu and George Holt.
A huge thank you to Arriva for listening, and commencing this 6 month trial. But in order to make it permanent we need people to use it – so please do everything you can to help make this a success
