That's another 2 vehicle types which have just gone out the Arriva fleet in the past week or so, the Optare Solo and Temsa Avenue.

Must say, can't say I'll miss either tbh. 

The Optare Solo (non SR) has really gone out, under the radar, since they were everywhere at one point.

I kind of hope a Temsa Avenue gets preserved, even if it is a warning to future generations.

With former 2810 being withdrawn from Tunbridge Wells, I believe that would be the last 28XX Solo Arriva NE has owned gone? Sad to think since I quite liked those Solos and there were a canny amount of them.
