The MPD was definitely not for service as it'd been sold for scrap according to the Arriva North West Facebook page. This Dart that's currently in Bootle appears to have parts missing, like the MPD did. I presume that they're having a few parts taken off them for Bootle's set of Darts before their final journeys, however I'm not 100% how that'd work if they've already been sold for scrap (whether they've been sold as an entire unit or just as a shell). Was shown a photo of 2228 lately from a forum member which appears to have a windscreen out of an ex-Chester Dart as it has the "C" sticker on it.
