RE: The X-ANC/HJA/OBN Dennis Darts
Photographic evidence of four dead Darts at PVS scrapyards.

The first three were originally based at Bootle.
Does anyone remember when 2234 (X234 ANC) got Interurban paintwork and new seat fabric?
Well all I can say is they wasted their money
Bye-bye 2234....

Thankfully, Arriva spent less money on 2232 (X232 ANC), then again, it made no difference!
2232 ended its operating days at Bolton.

The ALX200-bodied Darts always reminded me of a dolphin. Think it's something to do with that aquamarine paint, the big round headlamps and the snub-nose. Anyway, this lacks number plates and a fleetnumber, but I'm pretty certain its 2266 (X266 OBN)....

....And if you need proof, look at the markings and compare photos...

And finally, 2256 (X256 HJA) spent most of its life at Wythenshawe, ending its operating life at Canning Road.
2256 meets its end...
