Would it be a team providing  the old style type of 'service' you got when calling in for petrol? Check oil and water levels, tyre pressures, clean windscreen, etc? Possibly for the passing coastal traffic during the summer?

Not cleaning. Their function is almost completely eliminated, except, coincidentally, at Doddington Service Station (which is not the answer).

Come south of the A2. Very seasonal, could be up to three times this crew when I worked there in summer 1967.

What about the garage that was nearly opposite the now called Dancing Dog Saloon on the Sheppey Way, the old road?

I was thinking of Chalkwell Coaches which I believe were/are in that area.

How about local bus garage?

Not a coach company JW. I would have loved to use a Key Street based business as the next Place, but no... Right trade though :)
