Details: As already noted, Arriva the Shires acquired 11 new Citroen Berlingo vans in March 2012, these replacing the entire crew ferry fleet at Garston garage. It appears this quantity was more than required, as the first (V205) was soon transferred to Hemel Hempstead. It was photographed in the bus station there on 2nd August 2012. This too was short-lived, the van moving again in September to join the Arriva Medway Towns fleet at Gillingham. The Berlingo van is similar to the estate version (such as 6772C) with the addition of a short extension at the rear. The red Optare Solo on the left is one of five once operated by Metroline on the Hampstead Garden Suburb routes from Golders Green. They later worked on a commercial service (318) in the Watford area, this passing (with four of the Solos) to Mullany's in 2009.
