Details: An unexpected development in April 2013 was the delivery of 6 new Vauxhall Astra cars to Arriva the Shires' Garston garage. They replaced an equal number of Citroen Berlingo vans (that had been used for just over a year) on crew ferry duties. The new cars adopted the fleetnumbers of the vans they replaced (V209 to V214), although these are displayed as just the last two digits, placed near the fuel filler. Otherwise, the only markings are an Arriva name in the back window. Four of the cars were black, including V214 (FE13ZXY), photographed at Harrow Bus Station on 22nd April 2013, there also being one red and one blue. The Citroen vans were returned off lease, and it remains to be seen whether more Astras are added to replace the other four at Garston (V206/7/8 and V215).
