Dennis
Dart vehicles have always featured heavily in the
Diamond bus fleet in recent years. Vehicles have been
added to the fleet as companies or operations have been
taken over. Diamond never actually purchased a brand new
Dennis Dart. The core fleet was initially made up of
those from the Pete's Travel and Zak's Bus and Coach
operations. More recently second hand vehicles have been
added from either dealer stock when vehicles are
returned off contract hire or by transferring vehicles
within the group mainly from the operations around the
Bristol area or from the Hanson's and Central Buses
fleets that have been acquired. Dennis Dart
operation by Diamond Bus ended on 30th May 2023 with the
withdrawal of the last vehicles of this type 30888 and
30960. However, this was this was short lived as 30960
was reinstated on the 19th June 2023.
