543 was on driver training yesterday also. I spotted her while on my Duke of Edinburgh practice expedition while having a small break at Fatfield Bridge.
I assume she was training "Silver Arrows" services...

When the service changes come into effect from 02-06-13, services 61 & 2A/2C will interwork on sundays. So numerous drivers from Deptford are route learning the 2A & 2C routes. Likewise the services 60 & 42 will interwork all day on sundays.
She's been in a plain red base livery for about a week now and a note was made of it previously. She was on the 42 again today.
