Draft timetable

One route. One number. Every day.

It fits on a phone screen: no route codes, no conditional diversions, no school-day variations. A round trip from Paddock Wood takes under two hours, so one bus can run all four. Yalding, Laddingford, East Peckham and other villages connect by feeder minibus.

The late bus proposed

Trip 5 is a proposed late bus leaving Maidstone King Street at 22:10, a two-minute walk from the bingo hall in Lower Stone Street, then Maidstone East at 22:15 and every stop on the way back, reaching Paddock Wood at about 22:57, where the late feeders meet it. It would mean a way home after an evening in Maidstone — bingo, a late shift, hospital visiting, a meal or a film, a train into Maidstone East — seven days a week, at the same time every night.

There is no matching late bus into Maidstone: the bus would run there empty after trip 4. Would you use the late bus? Register your interest and tick “the late bus home” — it helps decide whether it goes ahead.

From the villages

Small village feeder minibuses would meet this bus at Paddock Wood and the Hop Pole: arriving 10 minutes before it leaves, and leaving 10 minutes after it gets back. They run when you book a seat, up to an hour before.
