While looking through some slides from 2001 (prompted by the thread on Kent Compass), I have found this shot of Arriva and former Shearings Leyland Lynx 3047 working route 24 at Smarden Bell on 7th August 2001, which ties in with the M&D and Countryliner views I posted recently. The fact that it now runs from Sandhurst may have had something to do with the fact that Hawkhurst depot ran it while in Arriva hands.
Re-sent as the first attempt did not upload properly.
