| Arriva the Shires has a complex history and a very large territory, this being expanded further in 2006 with the takeover of MK Metro in Milton Keynes. In line with LOTS policy at the time, I initially ignored the Milton Keynes vehicles, especially as they could hardly be described as London related. However, increasing integration of the bus fleet has caused LOTS (and now LTSV) to extend their coverage to the entire operation. Hence I bring you this fine shot of Ford Transit Connect van KR05RVA in the Buckinghamshire town on 26th September 2015. This van was acquired in February 2015 and is allocated fleetnumber V224 in the new (Arriva Southern Counties inspired) series. Further changes to the company may be on the cards, with a merger of the country operation with Arriva Midlands being considered, while the TfL routes run from Garston may be transferred to Arriva London control. |
