2810 and another solo from Blyth are of down south. Apparently he got told they were taken out of service last night but have been of since August

2801 & 2810 both enroute to a new home at Tunbridge Wells depot. Both still going strong as of 9pm!

The two solos yesterday at Blyth before heading south. But the question is why is there an Arriva Sapphire StreetLite in the right of the photo https://flic.kr/p/2n45Uen

I thought we've long established that Blyth does PSV tests for other depots.

2801 has made it back into BUSTIMES as Arriva Kent and Surrey fleetnumber 1524 but doesn't appear to be in service yet. Looks like it has managed a couple of staff-shuttle runs though ?
