Three of the original batch of Enviro 200's delivered to ARRIVA Medway Towns at Gillingham in 2009 retain their original livery, however one of the three 4059 now wears a hybrid livery since sustaining lower panel damage earlier in the year and 4058 which is now based Sheerness has had most of its 'Medway Mainline' branding removed which leaves 4057 as the only true original one left!

The last of the three to retain all of its branding, ARRIVA Kent & Surrey 4057 GN09 AXK departs from Chatham Bus Station whilst working on route 132. Monday 26th June 2017.
