Durable Dart
Continuing the Sixty Sixty Coaches Dennis Dart theme, this 9.8m Carlyle Dartline example was acquired in 2010, also as a support to the three 54-plate Plaxton Pointers for Service X43 (Abergavenny-Crickhowell-Brecon-Merthyr Tydfil-Treharris-Cardiff).
She was one of a pair new to Williamsons of Shrewsbury in 1991 for Shropshire CC contracted services, including one of the town's Park & Ride contracts. Arriva's Midlands North subsidiary purchased the company's local bus contracts in 1998 and she became 799 in the fleet.
She was nearly 20 years old when she arrived in South Wales, and I believe that she did not last long with the company.
My shot from April 2011 shows her arriving at Brecon Interchange Cardiff bound, missing both an 'X' and a destination blind.
