I'm pretty sure that there are/were 3 Cadets parked up withdrawn on the site of the new depot.

Two were 30209 (accident victim) & 30218 moved from KR, the other must have been one of the above?

New depot?

Well I'm led to believe that 1 or 2 Darts that were previously withdrawn are being re-instated into service I know that 20543 (YT51EAO) is one of those Darts also being re-instated having been VOR semi-withdrawn is MAN Centro 30704 (KX57OVS) which has been off the road at Kidderminster for around 2 years

We have been carrying too many spares buses.  The Vera's will be replaced by the 4 x Daimlar Streetlites, ERZ2028, GN14LPL
