2013 CNG NABI Gen-III the first to take part in DART's new "Bus Collision Reduction" program. At the time this was 1 of 2 buses with rear reflective DOT tape. When the bus stops the rear route sign flashes the route number and "stop". A new driver side mirror with turn signal was also installed. Bus 39131 (seen below) was the second bus brought into the program. March 2016 about 12 additional buses were retrofitted.
Engine: Cummins Westport ISL G280.
Powertrain: Allison B400R.
This Wrights bodied Dennis Dart is seen here in Newtownards after returning from service. It was allocated to Newtownards to operate the 26C service. This service ran from Newtownards to Sprucefield via Temple. The White paper in the bottom right windscreen is acting as the detestation as this service is not on the paper roller blind.
The Leyland Tiger on the left side was fleet no 1189 and reg no NXI 1189.It had an Alexander N type body and a Leyland TL11 engine.

I was thrilled on this day that the darters were mating and actually laying eggs in my pond.
This is a female Common Darter, Sympetrum striolatum, posing for me under an arch of giant grass leaf.

Southbound DART passes Whiterock on Killiney Bay with a service to Greystones (Na Clocha Liath), as the weather closes in.
Had my Tamron 70-300mm on the camera, wasn't really ideal, but I like the composition.
Let me introduce you to my dad George who loves Edinburgh as much as I do. He's such a special person he really is and we often enjoy walking along the old railway walkways together.
One Sunday afternoon we came to the end of the railway walk just near the Shore. Always one to combine business and pleasure I noted that the next 36 was due in about 15 minutes so we had time for a quick cup of tea at the stylish Cafe Truva along side the Shore bus stop at Coalhill (Alicia loves when we appear!).
We saw the little dart on the bridge nearby and Dad knew of course that it was going to be one of my babes (he's a very good listener...he'd have to be bless him the way I go on about buses these days!). Anyway it was Dart 61 which is nothing unusual for the 36. We sat at the back, munching at the remainder of my Lee's macaroon bar and I had an idea to get him to pose for a photograph inside the bus.
I managed to sweet-talk the driver into waiting a bit longer so I could line George up under the fleet number to take the picture. Just then there was a call from a woman sitting in one of the front seats (behind where I was standing in the aisle). Here's the conversation that followed..........
Woman: Heh...he's 61 i'n't he son? That's why you're takin 'is picture i'n't it?
Dad (softly)...Just ignore her I think she's had a drink.
Stuart: (turning round to the woman)....Yes dear, but you wouldn't think he's 61 now would you?
We all laughed and an amused driver was clearly making some mental notes for more table talk at Central depot later on!
Incidentally, my dad is now 83, but who would guess that from this picture? God knows how old the woman thought I was!

I created this in Inkscape (a vector-based drawing tool). It's sized to fit a pair of 1024x768 monitors.
Mating common darters (Sympetrum striolatum). Dorset, UK.
It's late October and probably now or never for this pair. So they were making the most of it as the sun shone. Not entirely dignified, but necessary!
Arriva Guildford & West Surrey Dart 3110 (T110 LKK) crosses Victoria Way on a very late running 34 to Guildford, while a relatively on time 3100 (R310 CMV) waits to turn right on the 91 to Knaphill.
A shame it was only on time because it had missed out the entire 34 short working to St Johns, but there you go! Unavoidable! Not that it would have affected anybody - the driver could see that no one wanted the 34.
Photo taken at 2254.
Test complete.

Red-veined darter found at Akrokorinth in Greece.
The red-veined darter or nomad (Sympetrum fonscolombii) is a dragonfly of the genus Sympetrum. It is a common species in southern Europe and from the 1990s onwards has increasingly been found in northwest Europe, including Britain and Ireland.
S. fonscolombii is similar to other Sympetrum species but a good view with binoculars should give a positive identification, especially with a male. Males have a red abdomen, redder than many other Sympetrum species. The wings have red veins and the wing bases of the hind-wings are yellow. The pterostigma are pale with a border of black veins and the underside of the eye is blue/grey. The female is similar but the abdomen is yellow, not red, and the wings have yellow veins, not red veins as found in the males. The legs of both sexes are mostly black with some yellow. Immature males are like females but often with more red.
Occurs in much of central and southern Europe including most Mediterranean islands, in Africa, the Middle East and south-western Asia including India, Sri Lanka, and Mongolia. In Europe it is resident in the south of its range but in some years it migrates northward and has been found as far north as Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Poland and northern England. It is the only libellulid to be found in the Azores and it is also found on the Canary Islands and Madeira.
It is found in all sorts of still water but being a migrant it is often found away from water. It has been seen flying over the sea.
S. fonscolombii can be seen on the wing throughout the year around the Mediterranean and in the south of its range, however, its main flight period is May to October and it is scarce during the winter months. It is a territorial species with the males often sitting on an exposed perch. After copulation the pair stay in tandem for egg laying and pairs can be seen over open water with the female dipping her abdomen into the water depositing eggs. Pairs are known to fly over the sea in tandem dipping into the salt water where the eggs soon perish. The eggs and larvae develop rapidly and S. fonscolombii unlike most other European dragonflies has more than one generation a year.
The River Dart Steamboat Co Ltd (RDSC) and its predecessors, the Dartmouth Steam Packet Company and the Dartmouth and Torbay Steam Packet Company, were the major ferry and excursion boat operators on the River Dart in South Devon for 120 years, until the company's demise in 1976. The company was famous for its distinctive paddle steamers, which were a familiar sight on the river until the late 1960s.

2009 Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 Dart integral body/chassis with a Cummins ISBe 4.5 litre inline 4 diesel engine, Reg.GN07AXM of Arriva Southern Counties (Kent & Surrey) (No.4058) at Chatham Waterside Bus Station, 18 February 2023.
Originally introduced in 2003 by Transbus (formed in 2000 by the merger of Alexander, Dennis and Plaxton) as a replacement for the Plaxton Pointer 2 body, the Alexander ALX200 body, and the Dennis Dart SLF chassis, the Transbus Enviro 200 Dart was effectively a semi-integral bus employing an updated version of the ALX200 body and Dart SLF chassis combination. However, available options were the Enviro 200 body with the MAN 14.240 chassis; or the Enviro 200 chassis with the Optare Esteem or MCV Evolution bodies. Production stopped in 2018.
Today, I had the opportunity to photograph the various apparatus used by Sacramento's Drowning Accident Rescue Team (DART). Here are a couple of teasers while I work on getting the other pictures uploaded.
Many thanks to Jason at DART for the invitation.
