Dennis Dart

Various 

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.
