After spending collectively 11 years at Tunbridge Wells garage, 5926/7 were sent up to Blackburn to be repainted into 'Green Bus' livery, for a new lease of life as school service buses in Guildford. These 2 then stayed there until mid-2015, before being withdrawn and sold on. 5926 went to Go-Coach, and was stripped down before being disposed of, and 5927, much to my surprise at the time, continued further north to Sunfun of Earith, near Cambridge, for use on local school contracts mainly running out of Swavesey. 5927 still exists to this day, albeit re-registered to HIG 4462,
