Regarding Darts themselves, I'd say the V-DJCs are decent albeit tired, the T-PNBs mixed with 2314 excellent and 2316 dire. The R-ABAs? Can't stand their drab, tired interiors and appalling ride. Good riddance in my opinion!

can't say I'm a great fan of darts - but the LS R-ABAs I rode last saturday were all running fine. Cadets- imho are horrible slow uncomfortable things - the Arriva gods have delivered a plague of biblical proportions upon LS - I suggest sackcloth and ashes all round as a sign of repentance then maybe the gods will forgive the sinners of birkenhead and we'll get something decent.

There again I'm struggling to think of anything decent in the ANW s/d fleet that isn't due for imminent withdrawal
