Arriva in Tunbridge Wells

[Chris]

Completing today's trio of trios, three pictures covering everyday operations in Tunbridge Wells. 

Optare Versa 2956 is allegedly to move northwards to Essex at some point as part of a plan to reduce the number of variant vehicles types at each depot, following stablemate 2955 which moved a few months ago. It was seen here at Tunbridge Wells Hospital on the 218 on 6th August. The 218 and 219 are slightly lopsided, with the 219 operating to the Hospital and the 218 from, on a Hospital > Willow Lea > Tonbridge > Willow Lea > Hospital circuit. 

Wheel-forward Streetlite 1658 was captured between traffic in a new position for me on Major Yorks Road, Tunbridge Wells, waiting for the 230 to arrive (spoiler: it didn't) on 12th September. I'd definitely try here again, if the stream of cars were to allow it!

One of the last photos I took on 12th September was recently resurrected E400 6482, seen here on the 'terminal working' of the 6H, just south of Tunbridge Wells Station. After a few years off the road following what is now jokingly referred to as a 'thermal incident', it is currently operating from Tunbridge Wells depot.
