Relatively rare in the Stagecoach fleet is the striking Optare Delta

A few years later and the success of the Canterbury Park & Ride
necessitates the use of low floor doubledeckers like this Dennis Trident with Alexander ALX400 bodywork.
Y103GHC helped East Kent win the Premier Operator Award at EFE SHOWBUS International 2001.

Dedicated services for universities have become widespread and Stagecoach East Kent has started

Olympian is seen in Herne Bay depot one Sunday when services the do not operate. |

16271 (S271CCD) seen in service showing the Alexander bodied Olympian's dedicated
yellow and black colour "Unibus" branding. |

This view shows the rear livery style which will obviously need to be kept extra clean! |
