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.

Picture of the month.
This months picture is not what it seems! Stagecoach East Kent Volvo Olympian L246SDY was originally repainted in the traditional livery in 2002 to celebrate the Queen's golden jubilee, based at Thanet, we were at that stage all dubious as to whether it was the correct shade of red and cream..... never the less it went to many shows and running days, I even took it to the Southsea Spectacular that year. Later she was repainted in the correct shade (as seen here) and decked out with graphics celebrating East Kent's anniversary. Alas she is now back in standard Stagecoach livery now- her moment of fame over with! (Picture: Carl Underwood)
