SOVEREIGN BUS AND COACH 575 W575XRO
W575XRO was a Dennis Dart SLF / Plaxton Pointer B40F new as Sovereign 575 in April 2000.
Three medium size single-doorway forty-seaters (563-565) arrived in December 1999 for St.Albans services
In April 2000 twelve more Darts were received by St.Albans, lightly branded for local routes S2, S4, S5. Livery was Sovereign's attractive cream with blue lower, orange stripe and black skirt, upswept at the rear. All ( except 577, 578) had branding on the back, below the rear window. They soon began to wander onto the longer routes, yielding some of the branded routes back to the Mercedes midibuses. The branding disappeared in the spring of 2003, and Centrebus took over the St.Albans operations in January 2004. The only immediate outward sign of change was the covering of the Sovereign fleetnames with stickers carrying "Serving City & District St. Albans", and the subtle replacement of the red band with an orange one.
