Even if they get caught operating it, they can say it was just being used for one of the allowed 14 days..... As long as there was no evidence to show it operating more often.

Smiths could have registered the darts as coaches too? They ran the 200 with varios till Easter this year.

Absolutely and it raises another question. Is anyone with aurthority actually going round checking to make sure every single decker bus is DDA complient??

Can full size single deckers be registered as coaches?? If that's the case wording the majority of operators who have gone out and acquired DDA complient vehicles to replace non DDA vehicles, or spent money converting them simply have registered them as coaches to get another 4 years life out of them?
