Ah curses, foiled again! You win Danny! lol Taken out of the window of Jordan's car? V980 XUB is the one in the background, it seems to have an internal style Optare badge stuck onto front dash area! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: HTL Buses
Hi All, A bit more news regarding Dawsonrental buses, over the last few weeks Dart SLF/Pointer 2s KX05 KFD & KX06 LXN, along with Enviro200s KX57 FMC/F & KX59 CYW have all returned off lease to Dawsonrentals. With the three due back this week, this will leave just two Dawsonrentals buses, Enviro200s KX08 HME & KX59 CYV with HTL, both of which I've noted this week in service. With two more new Solos due soon (for new October contracts) I'd expect these two will go back once the two new buses arrive! Mercedes Sprinter BX12 DZG is being delivered today (and is planned to be on route 897 within a few days) with another four due late November/early December for routes 883, 898 & 899. Thanks as ever to HTL for this information! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

Hopefully it's better then that dire DE52 OJS... (That's been withdrawn now by the way, the 897 has been Solo's for a good few weeks now.) Justice is finally here. Rest In Peace the 96, You'll Never Walk Alone.

RE: HTL Buses
BX12 DZG on the 897, had to go out and get a ride! I can't quite work out what the body is, I don't think it's Koch but it's quite a common one for Sprinters. (If someone could help me out that'd be great!) It's B16F, B13F if a wheelchair or a pram is onboard. It is fitted with all round Hanover LEDs, which were fully programmed and displaying the correct routes! The interior is similar to the older Sprinters, but fitted with bus seats rather than high backed coach seats. The bus itself is very nice indeed, smooth riding and some minor rattles but nothing unbearable. It's fitted with a very smooth automatic gearbox, which doesn't jerk and jump everytime it sets off like the old Sprinters. A very nice bus anyway, and certainly much better than the old Sprinters! Justice is finally here. Rest In Peace the 96, You'll Never Walk Alone.

RE: HTL Buses
Ah good to see it arrived and is out in service! Bodywork (if similar to the others) could well be VDL Kusters, same people who did the work on that Volkswagen minibus they have for Merseylink duties. The only was I worked that out though was a tiny logo on one of the windows! Just had a look on DVLA, it confirms it as white, 2143cc engine and registered in April 2012! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
