Details: Having treated their recently acquired former London taxis to full repaints, Arriva the Shires' Garston paint shop turned their attention to the similar vehicles operated by sister company Arriva Southern Counties. The buses at Dartford garage are all used on TfL services and hence carry red livery. Although there is presumably no requirement for the support vehicles to do the same, the taxis have indeed been turned out in red. M499WMC was acquired in mid-2012 as fleetnumber CF37 and initially operated in anonymous black livery. It was photographed on Eltham High Street on 21st September 2012, still looking fresh, with silver wheels, white Arriva names but still no fleetnumbers. Interestingly similarly registered M511WMC was also operated by Dartford, but has since moved to Grays.
