Enviro 200 4058 in the Kent & Surrey fleet is, I believe is the last to wear the original aquamarine and cotswold stone single deck livery.  Photographed leaving Chatham Maritime on Tuesday 16th January. The outline of the Medway Mainline branding can just be seen on the cove panels.

There are actually about 4 vehicles left in this paint South of the River (though I'm open to correction), with 4057 GN09AXK still active at Gravesend where I saw it in Garick Street on the day of the 2023 Ensign Event, 4059 GN09AXO which is still fully "MedwayMainline" branded, was still active at Medway in November 2023 when I saw it at Chatham Waterfront, and Dart 1608 GN04UCY is also still very active at Gravesend where I saw it on December 30th 2023.
There may still be other vehicles in this paint elsewhere in the Arriva UK empire but I don't know what they are.

My photo depicts the last vehicle in the original livery without embellishment in the Kent & Surrey fleet. 4059 is a bit of a mish mash with branding and 1608 and 4057 are in the Kent Thamesidefleet at Northfleet.

Thanks for the correction Martin, I didn't think about the distinction between Arriva Kent and Kent Thameside.
