Diamond West Midlands - Kidderminster

[Cedric]

Relatively useful summary of the Euro2 Darts but not a list of non DDA buses as has been discussed in other threads. At least all the Y reg MPDs plus certain other modified Darts will comply.

Couple of questions:

Isn't 20502 still in service as well though?

not 100% certain  but  I think you  are right about 20502

Yes @DiamondDart exactly! I have already told @Reece that (Y2/3 JPT, Y252/63 KNB, Y32 YVV, Y211 HWJ) are compliant due to the fact they were all registered in 2001

@Will it doesn't work that! It depends on spec, when they were built new. Some could be dealer stock built earlier than their registration says, Y211HWJ for example although being a Y-reg was built in 99 & came from Ireland.

Y211HWJ may not be as it was actually first registered in Ireland in 1999, it's actually older than V377SVV in terms of chassis numbers/manufacture date. For some reason, when brought back across in 2001 it was registered as being newer than it actually is!

@Winston it was definitely a KP54 B** but could have been an MPD did not get a close look. It was in a new coat of Diamond blue with no logos or branding at all.
