The Dr Beeching of Buses. Discontinued Routes 1: Route 599, and Purley Tesco Free Bus

Route 599 was Introduced on the 15th June 2013 as a temporary route covering the track of the 455 between Purley Old Lodge Lane  and Reedham Station, when the 455 was unable to serve these points due to bridge work at Reedham. The route used 8.9m MPD's spare from Abellio's BC garage.

I covered it on the first day of operation, when it was operated by 8044 (V304 MDP).

To also help the residents of Reedham, Purley, and Kenley, Buses Excetera introduced a Tesco free bus route which ran with one 7.1m Plaxton Primo which was J222 (J222 ETC)
