Aren't these First Leeds's own Darts that are leaving?
Why would First Leeds be getting further step entrance Darts?

I'm thinking the same thing! If you look at the wheels they are painted blue and fitted with wheel trims, I'm pretty sure these are the current First Leeds Darts!

Weren't First sending some Darts off on some kind of overseas aid mission? I presume these are those. (Farewell and all, don't come back though please!)

Do we actually need darts anymore, we seem to be managing with striders?

I'm not really a fan of Darts, so hope we don't receive anymore of them, even if they are low-floor. Some Wright bodied B10BLE's would be nice.

The Darts that we're getting from London are low floors ones.

To be honest I prefer the Alexander Dash to the Plaxton Pointer, I don't know why but I just do.

Same here! Much prefer Alexander bodywork to Plaxton on any bus.

I always preferred the Dash bodied versions too - perhaps pure bias because they were introduced on my local service! - and I never understood why Leeds bought a large batch of the same vehicle but with two types of bodywork.
I quite liked the stylised Yorkshire Rider livery too, as seen on the above photo. Also nice to see the friendly badger making his little appearance at the back there.
