I seen this 04 plate Dart on the 86 recently, if I remember rightly someone mentioned the odd loan vehicle might stay permanently, but it would be Darts instead of the MAN Enviro 300's, don't know how true the statement was but personally if what was said was true you would have expected us to keep the larger single deck vehicles
I think it was mentioned the Darts had become surplus at their depot? I'm sure someone can confirm it either way shortly anyway!
I remember somebody saying that some darts may be staying as well, the Enviro300's were never ever mentioned as staying here though and its right that they have returned to their home depots.
At the time, Preston's darts were slurpus after the 113 moved to Chorley. However, they have since lost MAN ALX300s to CY for schools and I would think that means the darts are back in use there, but I can't say for sure.
The MANs and darts loaned in from Cumbria were never going to stay at GM, though the darts won't necessarily have gone back to Carlisle.....
34579 has now appeared at Gillmoss, looks like we're getting some of these now as I don't think this one was even one of the original loans.

34579 was at Gillmoss a few years back, but got transferred to Preston with 34473.......
Haven't seen a Dart on the 10A for a while now, definitely mainly Enviro300s, much comfier than Arriva's Pulsars too!
Wonder if these extra darts are going to be in exchange for Solo's, havent seen a solo since Friday, are they still here, I know its only a few days but just a thought.
One also operated the 196 in St Helens as per normal this morning too.
