On 16 February 2008 Arriva Southern Counties closed their Hawkhurst depot along with the associated bus station. To mark the occasion the M&D & East Kent Bus Club in conjunction with the North kent Vehicle Preservation Group organised a running day with preserved vehicles operating various routes from the bus station. A display of vehicles was not possible at the bus station due to lack of space, so parking at the Gill's Green Industrial Estate at the old Hawkhurst station site was used to display vehicles between workings plus a few more not used in service.
