| 206 & 269 Dennis Dart Plaxton Pointer Single Deck Buses |
 |
THE REAL BUSES The Dart produced by Britain's only remaining chassis builder Dennis is mostly found combined with a Plaxton Pointer body. This combination has become one of the most common types of single deck vehicle in use in the UK today. The original version was replaced by a new low floor Dennis Dart SLF with revised Plaxton Pointer II body in 1997 and this remains in production today. These particular vehicles can be found operating with both large and small operators across the UK. The Dart was originally designed as a midibus available in 8.5, 9, and 9.8 metre chassis lengths, but the vehicle lengths have grown as operators demanded more capacity, the SLF version is now available in lengths ranging from 8.9 to 10.2 metres. |

THE EFE MODELS The 9.8 metre Dennis Dart with 10 metre Plaxton Pointer bodywork was the first single deck model of a then current production vehicle to appear in the range. As can be seen from the list below this model is one of the more popular, with over forty releases since 1996. The original design which is represented by model 206 was replaced by the Super Low floor Plaxton Pointer shortly after the model made it's debut. A low floor Pointer 2 Dennis Dart casting was produced for New World First Bus and was used to produce two releases for that operator. Sadly legal problems have prevented EFE using this casting to produce any UK versions but in 2008 EFE announced a second totally new casting of the same Pointer 2 and also an earlier short lived Pointer 1 version, these two models will both be able to be produced in single & dual door layouts and will offer EFE a wide choice possible UK liveries.
