 Former Maidstone Sunbeam W trolleybus 72 is seen in the early eighties at a bleak gathering at the Sandtoft Trolley Museum. |
 The centenary of the former Maidstone undertaking was in 2004. Several events commemorated the occasion and in mid July this gathering took place in the centre of Maidstone. In addition to former Maidstone vehicles, the photo features a Nu-Venture Olympian and an Arriva Dart SLF painted in former Maidstone colours. |
 Undoubted star of the centenary celebrations was Sunbeam W trolleybus 72 (HKR11) built in 1946 with Northern Coachbuilders 56 seat bodywork. The vehicle was brought down specially from the National Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft. |
 Rivalling trolley 72 in popularity was long preserved Leyland Titan PD2A/30 26 (26YKO) with impressive Massey 61 seat body. |
The Titan PD2A was the only Maidstone Corporation bus to pit in appearance at the Maidstone & District Centenary seven years later.
