Maidstone Corporation had a history which could be traced back over 90 years, having operated trams from 1904 until 1928. Trolleybuses then replaced them on two of the three routes, until closure in 1967. Motor buses were introduced in 1928. Crew operation had ceased in November 1976 with the withdrawal of Leyland PD2s. After deregulation in 1986 the Corporation owned bus company was facing more competition in its own operating area and saw an expansion into the London contract market as the answer. In mid 1987 contracts were gained for the 132, 228A/C, (later the 228, 328 and the 233) in the Eltham area as part of the Bexley scheme. A new, bold blue and yellow image was introduced in the spring of 1990, so that Boro'line Maidstone buses were conspicuous among red buses as far away as Euston Station. Ex Southdown 'Queen Mary' BUF 278C was reregistered 217 UKL and given the fleetnumber 290 and used on British Rail contract work.
