As well as 2504/5, 1793/8. By the sounds of it, they're keeping R424 for me to buy, I loved driving that in service at Darlington!

I'd also be interested in seeing something happen with R424 COO. In some ways I actually miss riding some of these Darts along with the S-KHN batch of Darts, my favourite of that batch was either 1613 or 1639.

I never would have guessed that Big Grin Tongue

I quite liked that one, again not really sure why. May have just been the joy of not having pain in my kness from the poor legroom on the X-GGO Darts used on the 7 at the time. Did seem to shift along the A167 between Ferryhill and Chilton when it was on the 7 one afternoon.

I liked 1655 too, when I went to Sunderland on the old 213 that's the bus that was on the certain run that I had, I hate those X-GGO darts glad they got rid of them eventually

a man who worked at ashington depot said ashington are due to receive 7440 7439 7438 7437 7436 from belmont and 7470 7481 7479 7468 7472 will go in other direction. i understand the theory of it because if you think about it, belmont have the alx400's and we get the lowlanders until the ex london buses arrive from refurb then the lowlands go for scrap and belmont still have full use of the alx400's
