Indeed, 20 is a good bus but unfortunately its way past its best years and extremely unreliable.

Could they have been sold for spares?

Reports elsewhere suggest they are helping out at Square Peg, Leeds, while their Enviro 200s are away for repairs.

Would seem more likely considering they where only retaxed at the start of September.

Furthermore, it is no longer possible to transfer tax to a new keeper. I don't think you even have to claim it back explicitly, you get it automatically.

All three Darts' tax status did revert to SORN a few days ago.

Be interesting to see if they get retaxed then, that would confirm that they have gone on for further use with a new keeper.

At least #33 has been fitted with nearside and rear LEDs, certainly an improvement as IMO it makes it look a lot younger.

Still a ridiculously old fleet for the network and mileage they cover. Not to mention stature of the company
