 A very wet day in June 2007 saw newly liveried Arriva the Shires DAF SB3000 4053 (R453SKX) terminating service at Hemel Hempstead bus Station. |
 |
 Newer sister vehicle 4367 (W367XKX) is seen in Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria on the 757. Note the repeat of the last two digits of the fleet number on the driver's cab window - hard to miss really! |
|
 At the end of 2005 a fleet of disabled access Van Hool bodied VDL SB4000 coaches entered service on the 757 between Victoria and Luton Airport. Arriva the Shires 4069 (YJ55WSZ) is seen in Victoria in June 2007, the offside view hides the second door these coaches have at the front for wheelchair access. |
|
 Approaching its last days in service on Green Line work is Arriva East Herts & Essex 5443 (R203VPU) bound for Harlow on the long orbital 724 route from Heathrow. |
|
 Sister vehicle 5449 (R209VPU) is also seen at the end of February 2006 shortly before being replaced by a fleet of Mercedes Citaros. The batch of DAF SB220s were ordered with Northern Counties bodywork at the time that Northern Counties were taken over by Plaxton, so 5443 above has a Northern Counties body whilst 5449 was finished by and issued with a body number by Plaxton. |
