2253 always looked smart in its new arriva livery with leds but the interior let it down as they never bothered to re-trim the seats. However that said it was an absolute barn stormer rumoured by a few drivers to do 60mph plus!
Also although not in this batch, mini pointer dart 859 (T529 AOB) & marshall bodied darts 7627/7628 i've been told by a macclesfield driver I know supposedly did 60+ too.

Well spotted!
These ALX200 Darts were still parked-up in Bootle depot at 10am, but by the afternoon they'd gone!
Pretty certain they were 2263 and 2265 (although one may have been 2268).
That's another two gone then

Nothing major but one for the list, 2207 and 2262 have now been removed from Runcorn and sent for scrap.

2239 has disappeared from Southport.
RE: The X-ANC/HJA/OBN Dennis Darts - 33109 - 11/02/2016 12:49
Think 2239s already been withdrawn so probably off to the scrappers now. As an aside point, anybody know of a decent bus spotters book for the north west area plz???
There was a title by HB publications but apparently the fella compiling the fleet lists has retire, newun on the scene are ST publications but arriva NW & loads of other operators aint listed!

Unfortunately, the fleet list publishing industry has taken on all the bad habits of the Operating industry; Instability; failure to provide for niche markets, instead bowing to the demands of the conformist worshippers of the "Great Wen"; and charging more for providing less.
Amazon will probably have something but it's finding the book that would be the problem there may not be a detailed description of whats inside.
