Yeah ive only seen it do the 4 group-though never the 4M-301, 42 it has also done once as well. This batch are so good-tho the ones at redditch and kidderminster are a lot better, along with the MW52 darts which dont rattle at all

Yeah there good buses I would have thought Rotala would have acquired more if they were able to when they went up for sale. They make a good replacement for some of the old red and white darts of which S397HVV appeared on the 4 today.

I agree and thats a bad one-that and the jua darts are some of the worst-akw/jvv are some of the best

Yeah the AKW were always reliable when they were initially used on the 404E, so not sure why X639AKW was sold off and other buses such as W448DOP which were already in the black diamond livery and refurbished.

No me neither-there were a lot of AKW darts but now only 2 remain. The DOP's were good buses but the MPDs not as much as 448 and R954JYS was another great one newly repainted and refurbed which was unfortunately sold off. Petes originally had a lot of other JVV darts other than 571/3/67 which remain-there were 559, 566, 568, 569 at least from photos I have. Yet we're left with the ex connex hwj's which are horrid

typing error on my part  30860 and the bus just displays 860, 30850 was here  but not seen it for a while tony list show 30850 allocated to Kidderminster  not 30860

30850 operational from Redditch, no doubt the two have been swapped as 30850 carries 57, 58 branding where as 30860 is in plain Red Diamond livery.
