Trip to Tunbridge Wells



Last Week I went on another big trip to watch some Buses this time it was to Tunbridge Wells. My Bus there was Trident 18172 ( GX54 DVP ) on the 51/252 it was a really great Trident and is now one of my favourites. I managed to get some pictures of Buses whilst I was there and it was successful without these photos the blog will not of happened.

Now onto the pictures: First up is Ex London Gemini with Arriva Southern Counties the bus is 6127 ( LJ51 DHN ) it is photographed out of service.

 I now also have a rear view of an Arriva Enviro200 1637 ( GN57 BNX ) here it is at the bus stop.

 Now onto a Bus from my local area it is Scania Enviro300 28606 ( GN61 EVK ) on the 51/251/252 service it is apparently meant to be a great bus according to my enthusiast friends here is 28606 on the 252.

 Now sticking to the subject of Geminis we have similar Arriva 6125 ( LJ51 DHK ) on the 7 service to Tunbridge Wells Station.

 My last pic I have to show you is of an Ex-Stagecoach Eastbourne Bus go-coach Cadet 6105  ( GX02 WXU ) this was my last picture that I took before getting the Bus home.

It was a great day out however I had to come back on 2 Buses they were Loop branded Enviro200 36903 ( GN13 HHU ) on the 252/51 however this had a water leak in Polegate and was unable to go further so I got on Enviro300 27579 ( GX58 GKL ) for the rest of the Journey on my first ever ride on the 54.

  1. Excellent photographs Lou. That first Gemini is ex-London, as is 6125.

  2. Great post Lou fro one of my old stamping grounds - I was riding buses in Tunbridge Wells in 1982 and not much has changed. I have a feeling Go-Coach may become a regular on my blog so keep a look out for that :)
