The SPD's were withdrawn in accordance to fleet upgrades in trends across the region where all S-registered Dart's were withdrawn. As MOT's expired and as faults became apparent in conjunction with the companies policy of not spending any more money on vehciles due for disposal (recall 2293 had a failure of water/fuel pump in its final stages?), they were parked up to await the inevitable. It would be quite a coincidence for all 4 buses of the same circa to succumb to gearbox failure within weeks of each other.
