The only step entrance buses under 7.5 tonnes that operate public service are N2 GHA, N3 GHA, S908 JCC, SIW 8268, R627 SJM and R669 UCC. I'm not sure which darts and solo's are DDA compliant so does anyone know of some which aren't???

My understanding is that anything older than a Y plate (although Arriva Wrexham MPD's Y---UJC's ARE and the Y--TDA's NOT) is not DDA spec. So I thought that GHA's T,V,W and X plate Solo's and T and V plate MPD's would not meet DDA without some modification to the wheelchair backrest and the wheelchair ramps. I believe also that Alexander Darts Y201KNB and VX51PZM are not compliant also which unless they have recently been modified should all in theory be removed from service if they are under 7.5 tonnes.
