Theyre going lowfloor as well I see. I do wonder what will happen to some of travel express's darts-theyre so old and surely the carlyle ones must be worthy of preservation-shame to see them go for scrap!

as for going low floor, they must have bus trouble as their r133rly hasn't been out for months, driver reckoned t442ebd was vor, and r532yrp engine trouble. see they are using an ex arriva bus l116yvk drn116 (was preserved)

Maybe some of the knackered ex Diamond Darts have been bought for spares?
R532 I'm sure I've seen in service re-painted.

the ex diamond darts are certainly not knackered but does anyone actually know what buses they own as some of the diamond ones are leased
