Following its recent repaint, Scania Enviro 400MMC 15287 has been operational from Folkestone depot where it has replaced paint float Enviro400 19051 which has moved to Herne Bay.
Now at Thanet depot is Dart SLF 34442, which had been stored. We understand that Optare Solo 47113 is now awaiting disposal following the donation of its engine to another Solo.
