END OF THE LINE DARTS AND EARLY DART SLF'S

Remember these lovely little things an ex First Centrewest  Dart/Wright Handybus 45413 LDZ 9113 at Lowestoft Bus Station

With most Step Darts now all but vanished within First and many of the early Dart SLF's now withdrawn perhaps now is an ideal opportunity to look back photographically to the many varied and interesting Darts that First operated in the region.

Originally delivered to Ipswich as additional buses to operate route 66, 46725 was a standard Dart/Plaxton Pointer seen here in Norwich, love the destination blinds.

Heres an Marshall bodied Dart in 40288 M944 SRE which certainly came to East Anglia via a few group companies, seen here in Great Yarmouth.


To finish the feature off for now is an early Dart SLF with Plaxton body 43440 P440 NEX  originally delivered to Norwich in 1996 some of the batch drifted down to Ipswich for town services where they weren't the most reliable of buses.
