thats why they keep going wrong! why use a preserved bus if these ex diamond ones are mint? think select now own r133rly, t442ebd, t375hgt, and now v509nof. the driver told my mate the step entranced darts have all been sold as was their coach dkz7319. tiger lec198x and r133rly haven't been seen out for months. apparantly r532 yrp was just a loan as the ex diamond darts took longer than expected to arrive

If those Diamond Darts were some of the ones parked in the overflow bus park opposite Tividale garage, they may have been delayed due the amount of parts that needed to put back on them

Good picture of T442EBD on the main site. Just wondering other than this and the NOF dart do select own any other ex diamond darts. Are they both on a lease to buy arrangement and if they are bought, how many years do we think they will be kept for roughly? Tbh its a bus worth preserving with its petes/diamond history and also unusual bus with its good looking crusader bodywork

Think they have ex diamond t375 hgt too although since nof arrived its not been on 878 much

Cheers MrAnon-this must be a standard length dart slf/pointer musnt it? Presumably, some of their step entrance buses will be withdrawn as a result. Does their 878 get busy though? Never seen it so just interested

im not sure, it looked a little longer but ive only seen it twice in passing. From what a driver told me, all of their step entrance ones have left the fleet. Just leaving the coach, and the preserved dart on loan.

Thats the 63 Nathan. Changes to a 64 near Penn/Bradmore. 67 operates Wolverhampton-Cannock.
