London Buses - London Northern - DRL24 K824NKH - Dennis Dart 9SDL3016 - Plaxton Pointer
New in 08/1992, this smart 9.0m Dart is seen here at Marble Arch terminating on the 274 in early 11/1992. Based at Chalk Farm at the time, it then saw life at Holloway passing to MTL London Northern on the privatisation of London Buses in 09/1994. MTL London Northern was taken over by Metroline in 12/1997 then the Dart saw it's London life out at Potters Bar. Withdrawn in 02/2002, it passed to MTL Merseybus GTL at Gillmoss, numbered 7418. When Arriva was forced to sell the Gillmoss base GTL(Glenvale Transport) in 07/2005, the operation was bought by Stagecoach Merseyside where it was numbered 32180, however, just four months later, it was sold to PVS(Carlton) and that really can only mean one thing, scrap!
The camera being a Praktica MTL3 with the film being the excellent 'Fujichrome' colourslide.
