Y131 GBO
Considering it's a Y reg you shouldn't expect a perfectly smooth bus. Also what has happened to the two TGH darts they have?

Banga have some V reg and a Y reg solos and they run pretty smoothly. Don't know about the TGH darts unless they're on the 32 which I haven't seen any Travel Express buses on lately.

y131gbo was knocking badly few weeks ago, I heard it so wonder if they relplaced engine etc. it was alright once moving, it was just when the poor chap driving comes to a stop and its idling in gear. once he takes it out its fine. think the tickover might want tweaking.

Do you think anymore buses will return (V210 ERG, W362 ABD & W143 ULR) I imagine these are DDA compliant

They'd probably be out in service if they were DDA compliant.

I don't think they were dda or psvar compliant. think they have had to convert the recently reinstated darts to that status

Why don't they just scrap the non compliant buses? They aren't doing much good sat in the depot unable to be used in service.

Probably was cheaper to convert than buy new. Even though you can now get DDA compliant Darts on eBay for around £5,000 or less...

Does anyone have a list of what they have in service and which is still owned but withdrawn from service?

I presume that list is outdated as I wouldn't have thought they would still have the Carlyle darts sitting in the depot?
