Apparently there not! The only good bus that Diamond had off Arriva was the X reg Cadet!!

I went on one with urban 90 seats they certainly have a lot more power and go in them

Mercedes1665

Arriva darts are far better than diamonds they have been very well looked after compared to the diamond ones.
Will miss 1515-1743, Volvo B6LE, Dennis darts, spectras and the Volvo B10s

The lj51 plates are certainly beasts, sound Euro 2 aswell

If they are the buses I think they are,they were refurbished in London before being cascaded out.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

So you think you can tell a Euro rating by the noise it makes?

Really?

So can he tell which ALX400s/Geminis are Euro 6 and which are Euro 3 by the sound inside?

Nope but I'm saying that those lj51 ex arriva darts sound very much like the ones that diamond withdrew due to being non dda. Like 20573?? Either way they have distinctive different engine sound to diamond darts

There's your difference euro 2 is 1996 to 1999, euro 3 is 2000 to 2004.... so the ex Arriva is euro 3 standard at the minimum unless altered by operators that have had the bus after the original purchase

No, both types have Allison gearboxes.
