There are now only a handful of T-reg Dennis Dart SLFs still in daily use with ARRIVA Southern Counties and Southend now boasts the largest single allocation.

ARRIVA Kent Thameside 3289 T289 JKM is seen waiting to depart from the stop on Spa Road, Hockley whilst working route 7. Friday 31st July 2015.

This vehicle was originally one of the batch of six delivered to ARRIVA Kent Thameside at Dartford for use on TfL route 428. Although delivered in aquamarine the batch were repainted red in 2003 and were retained on the contract until early 2009, when they were displaced by a fleet of new Enviro 200. They were then repainted back into aquamarine and sent to Southend where they have remained ever since.
