What a treat for its passengers.....

Still its better than having no bus at all , there cant be much more life left in some of these Marshall's .

I'm no lover of Marshall Darts, but having been on a few of the Southport ones recently, there still ok, they do the job & having been refurbished look ok for their age. I know there is talk of them being withdrawn by the end of the year, but you can't blame Arriva for continuing to use them I suppose.
The talk of replacing them with slightly newer Darts as a stop gap seems an odd choice though.
