I started MGS in 1998 and went in by bus each day. I remember the yellow Park and Ride buses, but not the Green Maidstone and District ones - I am pretty sure they were already Arriva buses by the time I arrived. They must have been privatised around this time. I have vague memories there may have been one or two with the old livery hanging around. EDIT: So I did a bit of investigating and yes, they were were rebranded in April 1998, so a few months before I started school.
Great video, love to see all the changes over the last 24 years
Nostalgic seeing this, especially as I’m fairly sure I saw my late mum crossing the road at 3.26 😮

Man this was a year before I moved to Maidstone! How much it's changed!
It looks cleaner, not like now
& sadly not for the better.
