On 16 January 1988 bus services in the Bexley area underwent
enormous changes - long-established routes were altered or absorbed
into other routes and Sidcup Garage closed, while Bexleyheath
Garage re-opened. Buses and operators were changed and so began one
of the most unsettled and colourful periods the area's bus network
had known. The Bexley area routes had been put out to tender, and
Selkent won seventeen of the twenty routes, using a low cost
subsidiary and operating a mixed fleet of buses (both old and new)
based at the re-opened garage at Bexleyheath. Things did not go
smoothly from the start, leading to the eventual loss of three
routes to Boro'line Maidstone within the first year. Bexley Buses
takes a close look at the area's buses and routes, from the
relative stability of 1983, through the Bexleybus era and finishing
with the loss of all the Bexleybus routes upon re-tendering. In
addition to Bexleybus, the operations and vehicles of all other
operators in the area are covered.
