WHY

[Lukeee]

because they were un-reliable ex dealer stock, shame though as they were good buses and looked fab.

I agree & did anything replace these buses

That would be a bit difficult as Preston has not got any darts

[Lukeee]

[Ash]

They were replaced by the Darts they originally replaced and other stuff from Preston plus with the loss of 14 vehicles for the contracts.

[Ash]

There also wasnt enough mcv's for the super 16 when they operated the service only 30620-3 were branded and normally 2 additional darts as theres normally 6 diamond vehicles on the service.

Often wright bodied darts. Tho on the subject of the 16, I caught an absolutely fantastic new versa hybrid on it today. Beautiful, comfy leather seats, interior with blue led lights, fantastic ceiling, skylight.....Go on one if you havent already!!!

[Ash]

Yeah the versa's are on the 404E most days with one on today along with a royale centro shame i ended up on an S reg dart instead on the 404E today but to be fare was quite a good ride and even had seatbelts fitted which i have never saw on a diamond dart before.

[PM]

What are the royale centros like to travel on? Have the interiors become tatty compared to when new. I ask because Ive never had the chance to go on one!! To be fair, a lot of diamond's darts are fine-the not so good ones are the MPDs tho Diamond do need to be buying new buses to sustain the age profile. Anyone know what happened to the ex Bristol park and ride buses??

[PM]

Sorry, by my comment park and ride buses I meant the Wright bodied volvo B9tls, a photo of which was on here not long ago.
