Transbus Pointer Dart 34366 LV52 HGC

New in December 2002 for Stagecoach Selkent' s PD  Garage for use on route 380 amongst other routes. this little bus became quite popular then subsequently Transferring across all Selkent garages over its entire Service life before finally ending its service life at TB garage where I first started my career in the transport industry. Before withdrawal the vehicle allocators and engineers nicknamed the bus the old Donkey because it just kept on going no matter what and the fact that I used to always ask for it when it was available quickly gained the name of the bus being mine. in late 2015 a mini cab decided to not stop and crashed into the front of 366 causing quite a lot of damage to the nearside front of the bus. Luckily for me the bus was rebuilt and re entered service in Early 2016 before it was then purchased by us for Preservation in April 2016 

At one point in its Service life was covering a Temporary Route out of Barking garage doing 32 Rounders a day covering for a temporary closure on a route.
