They use 3 ALX Darts on Glossop schools. All 3 are R reg and have no working blinds on the side or rear and very often don't even use the front ones.

I'm fairly sure Stagecoach sold them as they wernt DDA complient so I carnt see that smiths have paid to convert them.

It brings up the question : in theory any operator could continue to operate a non-dda vehicle (especially one that is low floor so isn't instantly obvious). Even if they get caught operating it, they can say it was just being used for one of the allowed 14 days..... As long as there was no evidence to show it operating more often.

Smiths could have registered the darts as coaches too? They ran the 200 with varios till Easter this year.
