Adding a splash of colour to Route 69

Stagecoach South East, has launched three vibrant open-top buses serving Thanet’s scenic Route 69.

The updated fleet runs between Ramsgate, Broadstairs and now Margate and Minnis Bay.

Katherine Jones, Commercial Director at Stagecoach South East, said: “We’re thrilled to introduce these new-look open-top buses as part of our extended Route 69. They’re not just a mode of transport; they’re part of the experience. From the top deck, passengers can enjoy fresh air and unbeatable views of Thanet’s beautiful beaches.”

The new-look buses will operate every:

  • Weekend

A Thanet Open Top Dayrider offers unlimited travel all day along the open-top route for  £6. For safety, children under 15 must be accompanied by a responsible adult to travel on the top deck.
