Still seems an odd move replacing Paladin's with darts when our new buses are due soon.
True, but it means that they'll be able to take some of the R-ABAs which are getting on, and certainly showing it, out of service leaving us with newer Darts. It'll have to be a very short stop gap measure however as there's only a year between some of these vehicles.

i got it down on there mid may so that shortens its missing gap a little
It's withdrawn and seems to have been for several weeks
another one bites the dust? if so 9 left
Yes. It's not on any of the paperwork in depot so it's very safe to assume it's been long withdrawn.
2316 is now here too,just seen entering depot with fitter after a road test.
