Can someone please tell me when these will finally be scrapped? was on 40622 on the 46 this morning and ive never been on such a sluggish and slow bus. Looks like your wish will finally happen! I've been told that all Leeds Darts will be off by the end of this week. To partly replace them at least six Volvo B6 have been transferred to Leeds from York today. Don't blame me though if they're not all off by the weekend, it's just what I was told in the depot today. Sorry to falsely raise your hopes. It looks like these are going to go on a bit longer. In fact. if you go out for a ride on the 62 today you can enjoy (!!) the delights of 40609.

Saw one of these on the 33/33A last night in Leeds Bus Station. Look quite smart little things to be honest.

well its kind of hard to tell them apart in my opinion since they look the exact same as the axcess ultralows wheras the only thing can spot different on the B6's are the rear lights.

Also an Alexander Dash bodied Dennis Dart was still in use out of Leeds Bramley yesterday 40632 M263VWW, as i saw it in Pudsey yesterday.
Also 40634, 40635 and 40636 M265, 266, 267VWW are still active in Halifax.

40632 will be retained at Bramley as it is used on Ser 80. I am sure that is due course a more modern small bus will replace it, maybe another B6 from York.

York can't keep just ditching buses, Halifax could send a B6.

Wasn't aware Halifax had any B6s, sure they all left a couple of years ago.

York can't keep just ditching buses, Halifax could send a B6. With the influx of new buses to York & West Yorks, i think you could be inline to get some new B7RLEs in the near future. 40632 is the last Dennis Dart within Leeds
