Former Arriva and Maidstone Boroline Leyland Olympian/Optare E153OMD was acquired for contract work in 2002. It is seen here in Waddesdon. |
In summer 2004 the Showbus team took former Maidstone Boroline 753 (E153OMD) back to Maidstone for the Maidstone Corporation centenary rally. Arriva are the successors to the Corporation routes and OMD is sandwiched between two Arriva buses on display at the event in the town centre. On the left is a new Wright bodied VDL SB200 for the Park & Ride services, 3969 (GN04UGG), and on the right a Plaxton bodied Dart, 3176 (P176LKL), in commemorative livery. More pictures of the event can be seen in the Maidstone Corporation image gallery. |
