Then again Darts used to be allocated all the time (when Classic ran it) so this might not be a massive problem.I have no idea what the routes are like but you could maybe go for some Slimline Optare Solo SR's for these routes.
Thing is though, unless contract requirements change, I can't see them allocating anything other than Bluebirds as they are probably cheaper to run than the likes of Solo's.
