It’s unheard of in the History of ARRIVA The Shires for the business to spend so much money on new buses (Not that I’m complaining!)…. I have never seen so many new vehicles arrive at a garage in such a short space of time.
These first two pictures show the buses awaiting Delivery at the manufactures site in Harlow awaiting delivery, Kindly provided by Ian Rivett. and below the first five arriving at our depot.

Nice! It did always strike me that they never go for a “full set” of buses on a given route, though – I wonder why not put all of them on the 4 or 5 and cascade others elsewhere…

The 4 for the red ones. Though I think the version of the livery with a blue skirt looks better – all over red looks a bit drab.
