RE: The X-ANC/HJA/OBN Dennis Darts
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

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. |
