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.
Dennis Dart East Lancs Reg FXZ 1690 is seen parked In East belfast i understand this bus is Owned by a Flute Band from Ballygowan Co Down
this bus was new to the metropolitan police and was 1 of 10 new to them in 1996
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).
The Cobham Bus Museum Spring Gathering in April 1991 took place in Addlestone. Entries included Centrewest Dennis Dart / Wright Handybus B26F DW43 JDZ2343 complete with Gold Arrow branding.
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.
The camera being a Pentax MZ-M with the film being a Fujichrome Colourslide.

This darter loved this plant at the edge of the pond and kept coming back. So I just sat there snapping away.
Seen near the West Garden Grove Post Office was this 1974 Dodge Dart with a Slant Six engine, according to the placard in a window.
Managed to dodge rain showers today, and even saw the sun for a while, this lovely Darter was sitting pretty for a while!
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.
The Darter is often seen swimming with only the snake-like neck visible above the water, or drying its wings while perched on a tree or stump over water as seen here.
Twenty brand new Alexander 'Dash' bodied Dennis Dart 9.8SDL were delivered to Hastings Buses between December 1991 and March 1992. This influx of vehicles enabled the mass withdrawal of mark 1 Leyland Nationals. Seen here in Hastings on June 22nd 1994 is 503 (J503 GCD).

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.
Marshall bodied MAN is seen in Renfield Street, Glasgow in 2001 or thereabouts. Dart Buses of Paisley took over the operation of Stagecoach Glasgow's pioneering services to Pollok and Darnley via the new M77 extension in a franchising arrangement. Unfortunately, Dart Buses folded a while later, and First Glasgow jumped in to fill the gap with indecent haste.
New to Stagecoach Merseyside, Alexander Dennis Dart SLF 34816 (PX06 DWA), has seen sporadic use at Northampton recently. I understand from Northampton Depot's Engineering Manager that these Darts will be off to pastures new very soon.
34816 is seen in Barley Hill Road, Southfields, with the 1101 service 5 to Duston, St.Giles' Park estate.
