This was one of the last dozen or so 'step entrance' Darts remaining in service at the time. It was withdrawn the following month, progressively cannibalised and then sold for scrap about a year later.

However, after about an 18 month gap since the withdrawal of the last example, the 'step entrance' Dart made a return with the transfer of UVG-bodied 47307 (N607 EBP) from First Hants & Dorset last April. This was joined in October by Pointer-bodied 46229/32 (N229/31 KAE) from First Devon & Cornwall.

Thanks Barrie, I thought that you would know its fate. It does seem a
strange move to re-introduce the type!
