As I said, the X-ANC darts are awful. Why they didn't scrap them and retain some more mechanically sound Marshalls is beyond me...
RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - CX54 DKD - 17/07/2013 23:31
The X-ANC Darts have the same running gear as any other dart... They're no more awful than any other would be - it's down to individual vehicle maintenance. Indeed the St Helens batch are fine albeit with 2209 having recently picked up some idle vibrations.
They've not been scrapped ahead of the Marshalls because they're newer vehicles and the book value is thus higher. Their company standard blue interior also gives off a better image than that which the Marshalls carry. There are good Marshalls Darts, yes, but in general, the quality of the Marshall bodywork is inferior to that of the Plaxtons. It's like any batch of vehicles however, there are good examples then there are the poor ones.
