Step-back Saturday - Two of Citybus' first Dennis Darts

Good evening everyone.

First of all, just a bit of history. In 1992, Plymouth Citybus bought 9 Dennis Darts. (101-105,107-110 with regs K101/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/10 SFJ)

Of these buses, I will talk about #101 and #105 which have been preserved the PCTPG

101 - Dennis Dart/Plaxton Pointer

101-20

105 - Dennis Dart/Plaxton Pointer
 Here is a brief summary based on info on the PCTPG website.
It was delivered new in 1992 for services 61, 62 and 63 to Honicknowle and Brake Farm. It was delivered in a red, white, grey and black livery (like 101) with 40 seats. In 1997, it was repainted into a red, white and grey livery. It would receive one last repainted in 2002 and eventually be withdrawn in 2008.
