There are now 24 Cadets here, probably more to come. They seem to be taking over!

Hybrids are due early 2013 and there are 33 coming to Laird Street.

Personally I don't favour them myself, I'd rather a Dennis Dart SLF any day over the DAF SB120, I feel the DAF SB120 is trying to be something it isn't like it's trying to be a bigger bus than that of a midi bus, rather than the Dart where I feel it is what is is.
It shall be interesting over the next few weeks to see how things plan out though.

If - they were pigeons it would be time for a cull!

I hate Cadets as much as Jeremy Clarkson hates Caravans[hate Caravans as well]if i could ever get the chance to destroy one i would.
Hmmm, interesting idea for a Bus related Top Gear type of Show.

Perfect way of putting it, I'll soon be getting sick of the sight of them, seen at least 5 Cadets and three Pulsars yesterday on the 403/413 as well as that horrid S848 RJC lol

Excellent news, sounds odd but to a bus enthusiast in one respect it might have it's plus points, more motionless vehicles to capture etc.
