| Over the weekend of the 15th and 16th May 2004 First Midland Red acquired a number of surplus Dennis Dart vehicles from First PMT. In recent months First PMT has had problems with maintenance following which the company has been forced to withdraw bus services in the Stoke on Trent area by the Traffic Commissioner when he reduced the number of vehicles that they could operate. The vehicles acquired by First Midland Red belong to a batch of 29 purchased new by PMT (901-29) J901-18SHE, K919-29XRF in 1991/2. All the vehicles are fitted with 35 full coach seats and have Plaxton 9-metre long bodies. The intial five vehicles were joined by a sixth J901SHE early in June 2004. During early July 2004 these vehicles were joined by four further vehicles from First Berkshire They are N829-32FLW. |
