As long as it`s set up to right requirements it does not matter what style dest a bus has (Dot Matrix,LED Or Roller) I don`t think the 51reg ones are DDA as don`t think they have a ramp (simple to fit one though!) I`m actually surprised Xreg ones are getting Withdrawn & scrapped (Not Just Manchester,but other Ops) would of thought they could get some more years out of them if the converted them to DDA Like first have done with Renowns,Flolines & ALX400 of similar age.
