Anybody know are any of the darts/marshall capital bodied examples still running about or all these gone now? Also had an electric optare versa the other day too, gotta say was suprised by the acceleration of these, really quite nippy!!! I've got big respect for the drivers who work the metroshuttle routes in manchester city centre, it must be the most frustrating job at times with the constant traffic & the fact, people just appear to step into the road without even the quickest glance to look.

Still several Marshall Darts hanging on at Dukinfield.

I got told a while ago that the Metroshuttle drivers are on a different pay package to other drivers at Queens rd, because they don't deal with cash and fares they get paid less.
