No.18, as mentioned in my earlier post

I really don't understand why this was done as there was a MCV on the 200. It's like there just a number on a system.

I'll try and get a picture tomorrow when I see them. I've not had much time myself lately to go out and about with my camera. Smile

Re my assertion that there were two black-above-rear-windscreen Darts in the yard last Saturday, my attempt to prove my sanity to myself was sadly thwarted - when I got there today, the yard was empty apart from 15 up in the air on lifts. So it looks as though 73 must have been taken away during the week, and I couldn't see any sign of 21 either.

On the plus side, I did manage to get a photo of 18 in Runcorn: http://quack77.uk/images/KV03ZFX.jpg

(17 appeared to have been in the depot, so I didn't wait around to find out what was on the other 200 working.)

73 seemed to dissapear on Wednesday, same with 21 which also seemed to disappear midweek. I'm not to sure what the number of the other v or w reg dart but there was definitely just 73 when I have been going past each day. However I would guess at it being 76 as this appeared to be the last one withdrawn.

Its very strange seeing a Pointer in the Halton colours! Is 22 still in service or has that been withdrawn pending a sale?

Still in service - I saw it in Runcorn yesterday. I didn't see what it was on, but I'm guessing the 62, as it was heading up Leiria Way at about 1 o'clock.

Had it on the 62 on Friday. Not to bad for a Marshall but its showing its age externally.

#16 has been freshly repainted into the new livery.
