Elderly Dart still going strong | €2 Allison Plaxton Pointer 1 Dart, N232TPK | Metrobus (Preserved)

A surprise entry to the Low-ish floor running day, covering for a failed Bluestar 1851, was this former Metrobus Pointer 1 SLF. New to London & Country in 1996, it later passed to Arriva before ending up with Metrobus after they took over running of their Horsham depot before being withdrawn and preserved in 2016 (?). This was quite an enjoyable bus to ride on, making for an interesting change for the usual AT545 gearbox, this has an Allison 2000 (I believe) resulting in a more powerful bus, albeit the loss of the AT545 whine. Operator: Metrobus (South London Bus Preservation Society) Body: Plaxton Pointer 1 Chassis: Dennis Dart SLF Fleet no. 6936 (former) Reg: N232 TPK Route: 25 (Low-ish Floor Running day)
