Happy to accept that it states 'Canterbury' on the delivery schedule.
Would just point out that Canterbury outstation has a PVR of 17 (With the vehicles maintained at Herne bay), The Canterbury Park & Ride buses (4 - Enviro 400, 6 Enviro 300) are based at Dover depot.
The VOSA site shows Canterbury as an operating centre of 17 vehicles.
I would suggest that perhaps the intention is to use 17 of the new vehicles at Canterbury on a daily basis (with the whole batch being allocated to Herne Bay).
