yes the caryle darts have long gone
I thought so as there would be no point in keeping them as they weren't DDA compliant.

mranon

they probably cannibalised them for spares then scrapped them. things like engines gearboxes etc

How are Travel Express doing on the 2?

BusMan Greg

I believe the TGH darts are back out now

Busman Jamie

Both TGH darts have both been out a while, Y854TGH appears on the 11 with Y854TGH appearing on the 2 but displaying 'Travel Express' on the blind

Not seen X292ABU, X703UKS, Y244FJN for a while though

Y244FJN is on the 1 today

busman Jamie, x703uks, and x292abu were involved in rtcs and sustained front end damage, so would presume that's game over for them. I wonder if the spd v210erg, and other darts w143wlr, and w362abd will re appear. if reports were true also, im surprised the 07 reg east lancs dart has not seen the road yet

I don't think that the V & W reg darts are DDA compliant, so would need to be converted in order to be used in service. I haven't seen the 07 dart out either.

BusMan Greg

Can't see travel express lasting much longer at all with these euro 3 laws being put into action across the region.

mranon

think they converted the older darts recently put back in service to dda. such as x703uks,x292abu,y184knb and t580jtd

They'd have to acquire some buses that comply with the regulations.

These were already compliant.

No they weren't.
@Tony I meant to say that the buses were DDA not euro compliant.

They weren't  DDA compliant either and had to be modified. Virtually nothing pre 2001 was

You say that Tony but our Y705 TGH at select was DDA compliant from day 1.
