| Dear Parish Council As Ulcombe Hill has been reopened following completion of the majority of the works in the area by South East Water, I am writing to advise that the schoolday feeder buses between Ulcombe Village and Grafty Green/Chart Sutton will no longer run after today, Friday 20th January. I attach the bus timetables for schoolday services 59/89 (Arriva) and 66 (Starline) that will apply from next week until 3 February and after half-term from 20 February. Parents have been contacted with this information yesterday where we have their details. The school bus feeders operated by R&J Coaches will be reintroduced for one week only during the last week before the school half-term, 6 to 10 February 2023, while South East Water completes their works at the junction of Lenham Road, Chegworth Road and Ulcombe Hill, and these will run at the same times as they have done in recent months. For any enquiries please contact the bus operator concerned: Starline Coaches (service 66) – 01622 812883 Arriva (services 59 & 89) – 0344 800 44 11 R&J Coaches (feeder minibus) – 01303 813696 The timetable for Nu-Venture daytime bus 59 will change from 13 February as most of the service (along with many others across Kent) is being withdrawn, but a limited service will be provided between Grafty Green and Maidstone via Kingswood, Chart Sutton and Boughton Monchelsea on Wednesdays only starting on 15th February. This will also be affected by the closure of Ulcombe Hill between 6 and 17 February – the full timetable should be in effect from 22 February after Ulcombe Hill reopens. Please contact Nu-Venture on 01622 882288 for further details.
