All in white currently, In other D&G news, they have services 90, 91 and 76 in Congleton and a
NEW SERVICE from Sandbach-Crewe on Monday to Friday replacing Bakerbuses X38.
seems very interesting and aint the 90, 91 and 76 Bakerbus Beartown link buses with the Primos's if so I presume the Primo's will transfer to D&G???
Shall I assume Dial A Ride is similar to TFGM's LocalLink?

Anyone got an idea if D&G are ever going to replace their darts as some of em especially 188 (S197 FFM) & 192 (v261 BNV) are getting very rattly & slow these days surely they've gotta realise these darts must be nearing 15 years old now maybe older.
D&G have aqquired cummins versa YJ59 GHH from Wardle Transport/Stoke City Council and is still in the "City Rider livery" It's numbered 173.
