From 1904 until 1928 Maidstone Corporation used trams for its routes to Barming, Loose and Tovil Road. Trolleybuses replaced tramcars on two routes, but diesel buses took over on the Tovil run. Until 1964 the trolleys seemed reasonably secure, having had several extensions to the system since the Second World War, the last being the erection of wiring along the new Bishops Way. The decision to abandon the system was taken the same year, with replacement by diesel buses scheduled to take place over the next four years. During the transition programme buses were slotted into the trolleybus services, and the final withdrawal came on 15 April 1967. Number 56 (GKP 511), is a Sunbeam W new in 1944 with a Park Royal Utility UH30/26R body, rebodied by Roe (H34/28R) in 1960. This fine vehicle is now preserved at The Sandtoft Transport Centre, near Doncaster.
