The 002 always has one non-Streetlite most days I've noticed.

Because the 226 gets the streetlite missing of the 002. When all 226 branded are on 226, all streetlites will be on 002

But not usually a Dart its usually a B7 or a Plaxton Centro theres no need to diss my first ever Noteworthy Working @Jack as a regular user of the 002 a Dart is highly unusual unless you can tell me different......

Agreed the 226 is anTfWM Bus Partnership route remember so gets first pick of the Streetlites despite @Jack comment the last time I had a Dart on the 002 it was in GoAhead Red Black & White  colours!!!!

Perhaps your right I am not going to dispute your thoughts I actually use the 002 twice a week it was a very very pleseant surprise and lovley to get a Dart today the only time in the last 18 months I have been on Diamond Dart was on the 192 whatever you say I stand by my comment unless you are calling me liar the last time I got on a Dart on the 002 it was a GoAhead Coloured Dart or else I wouldnt report it I cant even recall ever at all getting on a Black Diamond Dart but I will check my diary records and note any correction in this thread as I note every Diamond Bus I board in my diarys as for my regular use of the 002 if its not a Streetlite its always been a Plaxton Centro the previous regulars or a B7  as a regular user of the 002 a Dennis Dart is a Noteworthy Working well for me anyway despite your comments which I respect but disagree with from my own personal experience of the 002.

I never get a Dart on the 002 & 4H so 30887 was a real treat today I loved enjoying the rock hard urban 75 seats reminded me so much of Petes Travel and the feeling of light and spaciousness the Dart was so much the 80s & 90s bus and isnt 30887 a posh bus I am sure it started its life in the very leafy and posh Home Counties.

Urban 90 seats. The ex Hanson's vehicles were much better darts. 1550 and 1551 - diamond 30893 and 30894

Yes I fully agree some of us are old enough to remember Urban 75 seats they were even harder!

30893 doesn't seem to be in the best of conditions now...
