Group Acquires Ex Norwich Dart

After four months of planning, First's Dennis Dart SLF / Plaxton Pointer 42764 S664 SNG finally arrived at Eastern Counties Bus Preservation Group's headquarters on Saturday.

New in 1998 in Hong Kong to New World First Bus Services as HV 5087, it came to the UK in the early 2000’s and worked with Eastern Counties at Norwich before finishing in Plymouth with Devon & Cornwall.

The Group has a number of vehicles in its care including ex Eastern Counties Scania L94UB Wright Axcess Floline S574 TPW operational in the Great Yarmouth Blue Bus livery. It is also currently restoring former Great Yarmouth Transport Bristol VR double decker CVF 29T.
