I always loved the Maidstone fleet. The "ginger" livery unique and the way the coat of arms was displayed in a cream circle reminded me of my hometown buses crest displayed in a cream diamond. The latter somehow lost it's significance when the diamond was abolished, as did the town's significance in the 1974 local government reorganization - and I suspect many other medium-sized towns too.
Thanks Mick, and I love the tidy hand painted adverts as well. The ginger livery was ideal for Maidstone as it was quite a smelly town with aromas coming from both the brewery and sharps toffee.
