The rest of the Arriva Shires fleet is planned to be integrated into either the Arriva Midlands or Southern Counties series depending on the garage, as far as I know. Like all things it could be subject to change.

Indeed, it is the vehicles on TfL routes that are being renumbered into the Arriva London series. The other southernmost garages will join Arriva Southern Counties - I believe GR, SV and WE - while the northermost garages will join Arriva Midlands - I believe LN, MK & WB. There may be exceptions, but I believe the former London Country garages will join Southern Counties, while former Luton & District garages will join Arriva Midlands.
