Started seeing them less over the years though, got to ride a few before they left Darlington as the Pulsars on the 5/5A were temporarily allocated to the X66 when the Omnicitys were away for MAX refurbishment.Well, nobody seems to know why, but 1617 is tucked away in Faverdale, almost complete. It stands alongside the old DCT Daimler Fleetline and it's only lost its Hanover screen and a couple of dash bits. Nothing like the rest, which have been near cannibalised.
Last one I rode was 1616 on service 8 Spennymoor - Newton Aycliffe.
Can't bare the X reg Darts.
