🚌 DENNIS DART SPECIAL 🚌 323 Huddersfield - Marten Nest 🚌 CAB CAMERA 📸

This video is a cab cam of the 323 (on loan from Arriva Wakefield) Route from Huddersfield To Marten Nest (Netherton) but after everyone over on instagram wanted a video I couldn't miss the chance to film 261.
I have a video of 262 when it was in the tiger livery, check that out here • Yorkshire Tigers Denni...
I hope you all enjoy this little video, an absolute pleasure to drive. I wish we had more of these in our fleet.
As always thank you greatly for the support it means the world to me and if I can ever help with any bus driving related questions please fire them below or on my instagram @theflatcapbusdriver

Darts are absolute workhorses and the last simple bus built. Nice to see one been being driven carefully.

Fantastic video mate! That cab door swinging open made me chuckle🤣 nice to see some Arriva darts still in service, haven’t been on one since 2014! Ours were great, shame they went. Cannot wait for next week! 😃

[@seberous]

I ride to college most mornings on a dart. They vary a lot here in north devon with stagecoach. There is one TransBus 2004 one, which is a rattly shed, but one or two of the 56 reg ones are absolutely fine. They just get a little bit rough after an hour. Our driver seems to like them tho.

[@prime6134]

I think everyone love that bus

[@heliostransport515]

I will miss these. Also my fav!

[@plasmauktransport1657]

Fantastic video! I love the darts myself and I remember them on my local routes in London. They are fantastic to ride as a passenger :D

[@KarrrRep]

I used to drive Marshall bodied dart slfs 2002 for first capital based in rainham Essex. Loved them stuck to road like glue. Drove like go karts. Very forgiving. Gearbox changed nicely steering was positive and light and good steering wheel adjustment via floor button.

That's one of my favourite buses to drive for arriva

[@Deltic55-mw4bo]

Until recently, Darts used to come by me, mostly the route uses 09 plate solos, but if you were lucky you got one beastly little 54 plate MPD, that was tatty as anything inside and out, but went like the clappers. I miss em.

[@theyorkshireguy829]

Hi, great videos. I start with Arriva as a trainee bus driver in a few weeks. I have been told that as a Arriva bus driver you will have to learn all the bus routes that are available from the depot you are assigned to. Mine will be Wakefield My question is are you given plenty of time to learn the routes before you are assigned to them and do they give you some sort of a route map to take away and learn before giving you the route to drive. Maybe a video on this would be a great topic for you to explain on KZbin. Keep up with the great videos.

[@sarahsrandomvideos6965]

Epic video as always Shaun. Hope you & your family all keeping safe n well 😀😊

[@unknownywuux_bus]

Nice one

[@Giuste86]

Spotter alert at 13:45? :-) Always follow your cab cams with Google Maps in a separate tab to see where you are driving along!
