Yeah its a former Blue Triangle machine but came to BX to help get rid of those Marshalls Indeed it was. Used to see it quite often out on the 347 or the 372. Come to think of it, i may have got it on the 372 once before it left. It wasn't a bad vehicle but had a slightly mildew smell to it, like most older Darts of that age do Most of the Darts I ride have a noticeable 'eau des frites' or 'essence au kebab' to them!

Better than the Chicken Tikka smell you get on a bus from Dagenham! ;D

I wouldn't know has it's been a VERY long time since I drove a midi, however I have been told that LDP111 REALLY flys has they have done somthing with the engine/gearbox as it used to be a snail (as egg will confirm and indeed told me once when we passed each other on the 469 ;D)

That was a lightnin quick one when allocated to NX for the 345. Afraid not- looks like its now with Diamond- see here jp.fpic.co.uk/p51039708.html. Seems to have gone before 2007 judging by the dates some pics where added. Last week was fairly impressed with LDP91 out on the B11 and they seem to be quite a nice batch. Can anyone from BX confirm if LDP152 Y852TGH is still there, aint seen it in ages.

Why not just add Go-Ahead Logos as well ;D
