Arriva Kent Thameside 3179


Here is 3179.P179LKL working route 286 in Rochester Way outside St Barnabus Church on what looks like a warm summers day the 19 August 2002. 3179 was acquired from Arriva Kent & Sussex in 1998. The 286 works from Dartford Garage (DT)

Almost a year later on 10 July 2003 sees 3179 working the 286 again in Rochester Way. This time heading for Greenwich. It looks a bit knocked about on the front offside.

A few months later on a bright winters day 21 December 2003, and the damage has been repaired, 3179 is also sporting a nice new coat of paint, this time Arriva red. It is however still working from DT on the 286. New Transport for London rules state that all new TfL contracted routes will have to use red buses. 3179 is now ready.
