They weren't all sheds, gooduns on the #130 circuit were:

2253
2239/2242
2246

All decent darts, 2271 has proven rather popular with winsfords drivers too!

Its the ALX300 darts thats the sheds, not seen all of them but most of the plaxton pointers were ok. 2262 was terrible at St. Helens before its gearbox were changed

Alx200 darts, alx300's are not darts, so Alx200's were 2263 to 2272. As for the pointers, well apart from one or two most of them were sheds when new and remained sheds all their lives. The x plated batch of darts were probably the worst batch of buses I have travelled on whether they were Alx200's or Pointers.

I think its because the last number section on the dest equipment is faulty and is a pain trying to change it when on the 36/36A so its just easier keeping on the 20.
