Arriva still has a premises in Beddington, not too far from the Abellio and Go-Ahead bus garages. Located on Beddington Farm Road, this is not the same base that Arriva inherited from London & Country (closed in 2014 and now in use by building materials firm CCF), but as it is only about 200 yards away, I have linked this photo to that location rather than adding a new one. The newer location is known as Sidney House Outstation and is formed of a smallish open yard just at the bend in Beddington Farm Road. It is not used for any regular bus operations, just for driver training and vehicle storage. When Neal visited on 26th February 2023 there were three unmarked vans present, comprising Ford Transit Customs HK19UBO and BC19HZF and Peugeot Expert NU20KZX. It is possible that these are used by Arriva for driver training (as with the unmarked vans seen at Edmonton last year), but I don't think there is much point in adding them to the database. |
