The only vehicles listed on fleet that are not DDA certified are the Tridents, but they have been converted to DDA standards in the single door conversion process, so can obtain a certificate easilly. The full DDA compliance fleet removes the restrictions that B10BLE's had, for not meeting QBP standards, and also means every bus listed on fleet is at least Euro3, the minimum for QBP.

Couldn't they have at least put an exhaust filter on the B10B's? Actually sorry that's a stupid question. I think if it was upto stagecoach they would just have a whole fleet of Darts in my view. Makes no sense in reducing from full size single deck to midi size. They get packed as it is already, There's plenty of Ex-Stagecoach London Tridents floating about that are DDA eminox compliant , why not just throw a few into Gilmoss , not like they are not non-standard to Merseyside.
