If you think about darts though, some are better than others. The Plaxton (I and II) seem very rattley and tatty, the Marshall Capital bodied ones are also bad from the passenger perspective. Luckily FirstGroup ordered the Wright Bodied versions that aren't as bad.

Really? I must have under-estimated the size of the Streetlites and over-estimated the size of the darts.

What routes are these size vehicles used on? Route 64? or 53 I'm guessing?

Darts seem to depend on who owns them,Wakefields Arriva MPDs are great,both before & after referb but Huddersfield SPDs are awfull with a capital A

Renowns are normally on 110,33,88/89 & Sometimes appear on 17 & 100,Crusaders im not sure about,but im thinking 64,88/89 & 74/75.Streetlite 10.8m Seats B41F & MAX 11.5m Seats B45F
