Arriva Southern Counties

In November 1986, the National Bus Company sold Maidstone & District in a management buyout to Einkorn Limited.

[2] Invictaway was previously the name of the Maidstone & District commuter services to London, which were renamed Green Line at the same time.

The Medway Towns network was upgraded in a £10 million investment marketed as Operation Overdrive.

In April 2021, Arriva announced the Sheerness depot would close in July 2021, with routes 360, 361 and 367 being withdrawn and re-tendered by Kent County Council.

[25] On 10 November 2024, Go-Ahead London took over the Fastrack routes which will introduce brand new Irizar ie trams by April 2025.

[26] In Kent, operations from the company's depots in Northfleet, Gillingham, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells combine to create a network across the northern and western areas of the county.

Services are centred in the towns of Dartford, Gravesend, Chatham, Maidstone, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells and also extend to Tenterden, Hawkhurst, Sevenoaks, Orpington, Sittingbourne and Sheerness-on-Sea.

Arriva Southern Counties currently operate Sapphire branded buses in Kent Thameside on routes 480, 490 and 491 which link Temple Hill, Dartford, Bluewater, Greenhithe, Swanscombe, Northfleet, Gravesend, or Valley Drive and Riverview Park.
