🚧 SERVICE UPDATE - Route 36 🚧

Due to an RTC on Herne Bay high street, one of our 36 buses are caught in the road closures. This will result in the next departure from Grand Drive being cancelled until the road reopens, at which point the buses will do their best to get back onto timetable.

Apologies to any inconvenience this may cause.
