During the closure service 638 will NOT serve Seasalter. It will operate directly from Estuary View to Yorkletts and vice versa. 

Service 660 towards Tankerton will operate its normal route to Seasalter (Lucerne Shops) but then turn right and use Seasalter Lane/Thanet Way/Dargate Services to reach Borstall Hill and Whitstable.

Service 660 from Tankerton will divert via Borstall Hill and Thanet Way then take the Yorkletts junction before turning right onto Seasalter Lane to rejoin its normal route at Seasalter Cross.

From Saturday 24th until and including Saturday 31st October (half term) South Road and West Street will be closed. The normal clockwise circulation of services around Faversham town centre will NOT be possible. The stop at Home Bargains in North street will not be served.

Services 638 (except journeys to Kiln Court) and 660 coming into Faversham via The Mall will NOT serve Stone Street but pass the station and use Newton Road to Court Street. 

Service 638 journeys to Kiln Court will follow line of route via Stone Street, but coming back from Kiln Court will divert via Stone Street and Newton Road to Court Street. 

Short 660 journeys from Graveney to Faversham will turn towards Tesco/Court Street at the Post Office and not serve the library or station.

We have received notification via Kent County Council that contractors will be carrying work for communications provider Trooli from Monday 9th until Monday 30th November 2026.

We have been advised that even though the work is being phased, there will always be a section of road between Gore Street and Preston closed throughout the duration of the works. This means that we will be unable to serve Plucks Gutter and Stourmouth during this time.

The service will be diverted through Sarre, Grove Ferry and Grove rejoining its normal line of route from Grove Road on to The Street at Preston and vice versa.

Apologies for the inconvenience this will cause.

The contractor has promised to keep us advised of any changes to their plans.

Service 620 will operate normally between Wye and Canterbury during the disruption planned at Roberts Dane on Coldharbour Road.

The road closure from Monday 28th September until Thursday 8th October will only occur between the hours of 08:00 & 15:00 each day.
