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.
Got this sent to me in an email the other day.. It’s the most topical bus advertising I’ve ever seen
Looks like the ARRIVA’tising of MK Metro might have just started today.
One of our buses, 3528, went away painted yellow a few weeks ago and has come back today in ARRIVA livery.
I can’t believe we are getting rid of this…..
for this “thing”….
I really do wonder how we get to these decisions, No doubt made by somebody so far removed from the depot that they’ve probably not seen a bus LOL
Two of the Five hire buses arrived at the depot this week for some new cross town route we’re starting in a week..
Notice the company name on the side!…No sign of MK METRO… Is this the start of us being “Arriva’tised”?!

Well today we introduce you to another regular commenter on here, “Professional Matt”, who also drives a bus at MK Metro, and here he is!
So the next time he’s driving your bus, Feel free to congratulate him on his colour choice of rubber gloves
