New in April 2006 to Arriva London Dartford Depot for use on route 162 between Eltham Station and Beckenham Junction. 

This Batch of buses was Delayed in build and whilst delayed Arriva borrowed the old Selkent buses that were on the route. 

These buses were quite nippy and only had a short life at DT of just 4 years whilst the garage only had the contract term for 5 years. After this short time at DT the bus then transferred to Enfield garage and became PDL145 in the time at DT she even made a rare appearance to GY depot for a day on Route 346.

whilst an Enfield bus alongside one other they became a float vehicle and made returns back home to DT for use on the B13,15 as required.
