what is it mate is 9 out of 10 times the 356 gets a daf cadet or a wright cadet but sometimes like last night we got 2269, an ALX200 body dart, if you dont want the bus and your on a late you can just take the bus down to the depot and theres normally about 4 pulsar/pulsar 2's sat at the front you can just jump in and take

my mate is a fan of the darts so as long as its a good dart you will notice it will not get swapped :P

I would not think that you could just go into the depot and change a bus without the desk knowing/giving permission. As far as I am aware you need to give a reason why you want a change of vehicle and don't forget those buses in already in the depot will be being prepared for the following day.
