County Connect DAF/Wrightbus Cadet

County Connect of Wrotham bought a 39-seater Cadet in March 2016, from Go South Coast. It operated on route 470 to Bluewater, and schools route 561, in overall maroon.

After a breakdown in August 2016 it was left overnight in a layby, where it was comprehensively trashed by vandals.

Bus history

This history is incomplete. It is being assembled as I garner information from a variety of sources. Particularly useful have been:

• LOTS for accurate data, in TLB, LBM, Fleetbooks
• buslistsontheweb.co.uk for VIN data
