Friends of the East Kent (FotEK)

Supporting the East Kent Road Car Heritage Trust.

Friends of the East Kent was set up in 1999 to encourage the preservation of the memory of the old East Kent Road Car Company Ltd and the preservation of former vehicles, artefacts and information. We also organise social events for former employees and their families and keep members up to date with news and forthcoming events.  Please feel free to browse our website and pay a visit to our news and events page to see our latest developments and dates for our forthcoming events. We would love to hear from anyone that worked for the old East Kent Road Car at any garage be it Ashford, Canterbury, Deal, Dover, Folkestone, Hastings, Herne Bay, New Romney or Thanet (Westwood), to share your memories. Also if you work for the current Stagecoach in East Kent, or own a preserved East Kent bus or coach or are even just a fan of our maroon and cream buses and coaches please get in touch and maybe even join us. We are always looking to expand our membership and all are welcome.

NOVEMBER 2009: Well summer has well and truely finished now the clocks have gone back. Things have been a bit quiet in FotEK land at the moment but once Christmas (sorry to use the 'C' word already!) is out the way then things will start to pick up again. Just to get you in the mood for the festive season next month, here is a seasonal picture of a rather sorry looking Stagecoach East Kent Leyland Olympian at Canterbury bus station in January this year.
