Dennis Dart SLF W466XKX
Dart 3466 (W466XKX) is seen at North Weald 2000. Newly delivered it was a dual door Dart SLF with Alexander ALX200 body - not such a rarity if the bus had been in London Arriva livery. It was however for London tendered services with Arriva East Herts & Essex.

Arriva East Herts & Essex Dennis Dart DW316
Arriva East Herts & Essex DW316 (J316XVX) - later 3349 - was a rare purchase for fleets outside London: a Wright Handybus bodied Dennis Dart. It is seen at the Southend 2002 Rally.

Dennis Dart Wright Handybus
Registered L12BUS new to Wests of Woodford Green, who operated some LT tendered services in the early days of tendering, 3374 (K761JVX) passed to Arriva East Herts & Essex. It is seen here in May 2003 having been transferred to the Aylesbury depot of The Shires. The bus is approaching Aylesbury Bus Station, though probably running dead to the depot.

Arriva the Shires Dennis Dart Wright
Another transfer across to Buckinghamshire was 3365 (L415NHJ), another Dart/Handybus. It is seen climbing out of Wycombe on route to Lane End in January 2003. The bus was new to County Bus & Coach as DWL415. Note the less harsh front end styling, still a long way from the appeal of subsequent Wright machinery.
Arriva
Arriva the Shires Dennis Dart L300BUS
The Shires acquired a number of small local bus companies, though a big slice of Watford competition was acquired with Lucketts, including a fleet of modern vehicles like 3103 (L300BUS), a Marshall bodied Dennis Dart SLF, still on Watford Town Service duties.
