Working with Kent County Council, and supported by Government Bus Grant Funding, Nu-Venture will operate Bus 559 from 1 September 2026 to maintain important transport links for residents and students in Boughton Monchelsea, Chart Sutton, Kingswood, Ulcombe and Grafty Green following changes to existing Arriva bus provision.

The morning bus 559, which part-replaces Arriva bus 89 at these places, connects with Nu-Venture bus 13 and other Maidstone-bound buses at Morrisons, Sutton Road.
The afternoon 559 will be similar to discontinued Arriva bus 59 and will operate as a through service from Chequers Bus Mall at 1612 via Loose, Linton Corner, Boughton Monchelsea, Chart Sutton, Kingswood, Ulcombe and Grafty Green.
Bus 559 is operated on a commercial basis by Nu-Venture.
