Maybe 2292 is first of its batch to get withdrawn lol ? I live in hope. They easily up there with the ex midland ones for worst darts in the fleet. 2249/2251 are in reserve im hoping they aint for cannock lol

Lol id say 90% not all. All the bu51s, s351 yog/v338 mbv DEFFO, That ejz one has half decent interior but is a f#####g shed of a unreliable bus..sn03 lgc is ok tho & x523 ggo. Fk52 mml was really bad but I think its had some mechanical work done so it doesnt vibrate and rattle as much. The two 53 plate mpds have got threadbare interiors now.
Personally I hate the sb120s more than the darts theyre just dull borin buses with legroom even a dwarf would struggle with lol. Least theyre being re trimmed tho ( apparently the seats were that bad they could have failed mot).  Aston hates the B10s dow ya mate lol. I think theym ok cos their the only buses cannock have that aint lightweight rubbish!


The dafs branded for the 1 would be alright if they got refurbed n resprayed :)

I have heard that 3701-3704 are due to be replaced by new pulsars for the 1 and the commanders are supposedly heading Burton/Leicester.... Not sure how true this is
