Invictaway

Invictaway was an express commuter coach service from Kent to London in the 1980s and 1990s, and was also a holding company for the emerging Arriva group.

The Invictaway brand was introduced in the early 1980s for the M&D Maidstone and Medway to London routes numbered in the 9XX range, and the Gatwick service 900, along with a black livery.

[6] In 1992 the green livery was simplified, with the introduction of some double deck coaches, long wheelbase Leyland Olympians with ECW bodywork, with distinctive sloped top front windows.

The Kent version of the Green Line livery initially retained a reference to the Invictaway operation with the inclusion of the white horse.

[10] As an Arriva group sister company, this was also applied to some Kentish Bus coaches for Gravesend Green Line services,[11] and an M&D Duple Laser bodied Leyland Tiger.
