Rail Replacement Bus news

Sevenoaks Rail Travellers Association Posted on 29 December 2018 by Keith Alderman31 December 2018

When I collected some Advance Purchase tickets at Bat & Ball recently a rail replacement bus service stopped outside the station. The display screen on the front of the bus showed a graphic of a steam locomotive and the following text; “Rail replacement bus, I am a train, choo choo”!

On the same day I noticed that the information screen at the entrance to Bat & Ball station was displaying the rail replacement bus departure times and where to board them. It also advised that the buses were on time. Are the buses current locations tracked using GPS?
