Dart and Dartmouth
It's a sobering thought that the Dennis Dart has been with us now for all but twenty years. Even more thought provoking is that some of the earliest examples are still working against all odds. Perhaps the most durable, though not the most attractive bodies fitted to them were these built by Wright of Ballymena, who referred to them as 'Handybus'. This elderly but well presented Stagecoach example is seen at Kingswear bus terminus on the river Dart, with Dartmouth on the opposite bank. A vessel belonging to the River Link company, operator of the open top Bristol VR's in the previous posting can be seen half way up the right hand side of the picture.
