With the end of the last native Darts to shortly be withdrawn from service in Lowestoft, here's a chance to look back at some of the memorable types and not memorable ones too.
One of the first darts that i ever saw in Ipswich was this Superoute 66 Plaxton bodied dart DP 75 M275 YEX later 46375
Moving on we have the Wright bodied Handybuses which came to Eastern Counties from London and nicknamed the Puddle Jumpers by some, here we we have 45413 LDZ 9113 in Lowestoft.
The first low floor darts in Ipswich were a batch of ex Norwich ones which ended up scattered all the way around Norfolk and Essex, this one is a Plaxton Pointer SLF Dart 43435 P435 NEX
Now well this one came to Ipswich but is seen here in 2003 in Plymouth to get rid of the unpopular Volvo B6's 42436 P436 ORL is another Plaxton Pointer SLF Dart.
Yet another Plaxton Pointer of the step entrance kind seen here in Norwich is an ex First West Yorkshire one in 47217 M217 VWW.
Originating from the purchase of Great Yarmouth's Blue Bus in 1996 was East Lancs Dart 46062 K62 KEX.
Just a quick note that Ipswich Volvo B7RLE 66977 has departed to Rotherham, while returning to Ipswich is Volvo B7TL 326563.
