They had this as their NIS screen, quite nice to see an operator personalising it! They even invited us onto their new E200's which they had just picked up the previous day, to show us what they were like!

Without looking at my e-mails, I can't confirm whether these cascaded double decks are due to replace the last remaining 25ish Darts in the fleet or whether further 7900s will achieve this.

Interestingly, a Dart was shown at the Open Doors Day to be trialling some sort of system to upgrade the vehicle's Euro status. I wrote something on the caption of the photo about the system - if anyone fancies digging through my photos to find it.
Some of the Darts are also having their seats reupholstered. Whether this is to increase sale value (unlikely - as this didn't happen with the Y-reg Darts) or suggests further use in the fleet, I do not know.

(18 Apr 2015, 12:24 pm)tyresmoke wrote Park's of Hamilton have been getting a number of new coaches in their 2015 order... with the sale of several 2011 and 2012 models. The KSK950/1/2/3 Elites on National Express work (they run the 534 through the North East) look set to be replaced very soon. The first two Leopards are now in the fleet, albeit 70 seaters so unlikely to appear on express coach work.

I've attached a latest fleet list that I've worked on... Not in the best format but it'll do for now I guess!

Park's run the National Express 534 service (among many others) and also duplicate the Megabus M20 service many days of the week.
