When Blazefield dispensed with its former London Country Sovereign operations some of the Harrogate Wright bodied Volvo B10BLE models ended up with Arriva the Shires. This was 370 (R370TWR), which was used on the lengthy 300/301 services from Hemel Hempstead to Stevenage. The buses were new in Sovereign cream and blue with route branding, but by July 2009 3850, as it had become, had acquired Arriva livery with Centraline branding for the same services. The bus is newly arrived at High Wycombe depot where the batch ended their days, still on lengthy runs on the 800/850 services to Reading.
