 The Electric Tramways & Lighting Co. Ltd. continued to operate with no further significant incidents recorded until its services were replaced with the buses of the East Kent Road Car Co, which began on 27 March 1937.This was one of the few inter-urban tramways in Britain, owned by a private company and running through open countryside between the three towns (most of it built over now).Much of the route was on its own right of way, and this only became public roads when the tramway was abandoned.
