The sole remaining example in the fleet of a long wheelbase Dennis Dart, this bus carried this predominately allover red livery from new.
Recently it has been breaking down a lot and its future may be in doubt. It is a spare bus in the fleet.
The one on the right is the bog standard London United Dart SLF/Pointer 2 fare on the 203 - which is due to get new 12m long Citaros later this year. Dart DPS681 (SN03 LDY).
Anyway, the one the left is much more interesting, being a London red invader onto First Berkshire's commercial Sunday service on route 51!! I think it even beats the Plaxton Dart I saw on it! It's Dart DML41336 (T336 ALR).

Just outside Central depot in Annandale Street eleven year old Dennis Dart SLF, Plaxton Pointer SPD number 67 (SK52 OJM) runs into a spot of bother just as it's about to start in service with Chris Cuthill who is waiting for its arrival at Elm Row.
The Dart-class destroyer of the Federal Republic of Casia is one of the newest additions to the Casian Naval Arm. Shortly after the end of the Feral War, the Naval Procurement Board was looking for a standard fleet-ship to replenish its depleted air fleet, and issued a demand for a capable, low cost, small- to medium-sized airship that could be produced in large numbers. The winning design was submitted by Lughead Airworks, a long-standing military airship company.
The Dart-class has the largest gun-to-weight ratio of any airship on the Continent, with most of those being small-caliber Repeaters. However, it also features two heavy cannon mounts on its underbelly, as well as four aerial torpedo launchers, giving it a very heavy punch for a ship its size. However, the Dart-class was almost rejected due to its high cost. A compromise was reached, whereas after an initial bulk order, a certain number would be slowly built over time, spreading out the cost while still allowing a decent number of these ships to be built.
This awkward manufacturing process means the Federal Navy never has an overabundance of ships, but those it does have are extremely capable. Conceived too late to participate in the Feral War, the Dart class nevertheless saw extensive service throughout the Continental War. Studies show it suffered much lower losses than other ships in its size and weight class, even though it saw just as much, if not more, action than them.
The design uses a unique intermeshing twin-propeller configuration, which allows for higher speeds while keeping a smaller profile. The Dart-class is notorious for being cramped and uncomfortable due to all the space being taken up by either guns or armour. Its sensor suite is fair-to-middling, but the Elektrics onboard are known to be fragile and prone to failure, leading to the standard doctrine of always deploying Darts in pairs or more.
Only one Dart-class destroyer has been sold, to the island nation of Jorken. Otherwise sales are prohibited. Tensions flared shortly before the Continental War when one of the first Dart classes to be built suffered an engine explosion and crashed near the border with the Straser Imperium. Imperial troops managed to get to the wreckage, but shortly after a Federal flotilla arrived and fire-bombed the wreckage, destroying the enitre ship and the Imperial troops. Some say this incident started the Continental War, but the fact that the war started several years after this incident suggests otherwise.
Upgrades are planned for the Dart-class, especially to the Elektrics and Mechanicae. There are currently open contracts for another fleet destroyer design, but so far no one has been able to produce a suitable alternative to the Dart-class, and its future appears secure.

Daimler SP250 (aka the Dart) at the East Kurrajong Hobby Show. This was the last car released by Daimler before it became part of Jaguar. However this is a later spec car from the early 1960's so would have been built under Jaguar's ownership.
These two First Group Dennis Dart's, from different stock, are seen here at Bretonside Bus Station, Plymouth, on what I think is 28/07/2005, a rather dismal day. I think the Plymouth Airshow, which should have been held the day prior, was also cancelled due to this weather. Kerbside is 42440, P440ORL, a Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Dart SLF SFD212. This native Dart was new to First Western National(440), in 10/1996. Alongside is 41177, R177TLM, a Marshall Capital C39 bodied example with the same chassis designation as the Pointer Dart. This was new to First Centrewest(DML177), in 12/1997 and these were a popular choice for First's London operations. Operating out of Greenford when new, it was transferred to First Capital's Hackney garage in 04/2003. It was transferred to First Devon & Cornwall, in 07/2004 then onto First Cymru in 04/2007. By 12/2013 it had passed to Alpha Recovery, Cramlington, where several former London DM/DMLs ended up over a period of time. I may have sampled 41177 during its Greenford days when I visited the South Harrow area. One of the many Merc. Varios of the now defunct Western Greyhound, Summercourt, is seen in the background. Looks like it's 564, WK04CUA, new in 05/2004, a Plaxton Beaver 2 bodied O 814D.

On a sunny autumn day Dennis Dart SLF / Plaxton Pointer SPD number 89 (SN53 AVC) works on Service 36 as it approaches the terminus at Ocean Terminal.
Browsing through the LB website it's great to see the results of a survey carried out during the last quarter of 2013 which reveal that 96% of passengers were happy with the service provided by Lothian Buses.
Specific questions were asked about timetable punctuality, exterior condition of the vehicle, driver appearance and greeting when boarding, driver safety and personal security when travelling. In all aspects the results revealed that between 75% and 91% of those asked were happy with Lothian's performance.

A pair of Dennis Dart SLFs are seen in Liverpool city centre in the summer of 2008. Both arrived at Stagecoach with the aquisition of Glenvale Transport, the Wright bodied Dart closer the camera being new to CMT who were themselves taken over by Glenvale and whose roots came from deregulation in 1986. The East Lancs machine was new to Express Travel of Speke and wore a predominantley yellow livery when new for services sponsored by Merseytravel.
The Wright vehicle is still on Stagecoach stock, now being operated by East Midlands. The East Lancs has left the fleet and is operated by Moore [Cheshire] based Howards Travel, now bearing the registration HOW477H.
A southbound DART heads along the coastal stretch between Dublin and Dun Laoghaire.
The Martello tower in the background was one of 28 built to protect the Dublin area coastline in 1804 and part of a defense network of almost 50 constructed around Ireland, and many hundreds throughout the British Empire.
With extremely thick walls that could withstand many days of cannonball attack, a large gun on top and two above-ground levels accessible by a door partway up one side (via a ladder that could be removed by the occupants), they were superb defensive forts until rifled artillery was developed.
