Going between Maidstone and Medway? Then take the 101!
Arriva’s popular service between Maidstone and Medway, the 101, runs frequently, every 15 minutes for the main part of the day on Mondays to Saturdays, direct via Blue Bell Hill.
It’s run by double-deck easy-access buses with pavement-level entrances and no steps in the front half downstairs, so it makes travelling easier for parents with buggies, shoppers with trolleys or heavy shopping, or for anyone else who might otherwise have difficulty negotiating steps to get on and off the bus.
And there's a great view from the top deck, especially as the buses whisk you up or down Blue Bell Hill.
Not considered using the bus before?
Maybe you haven’t used the bus for a while, or perhaps not at all. If so, you might find that bus travel is better than you imagined and more cost-effective, particluarly in these days of sky-high petrol prices.
