Oh, and another horrible noise.......that poxy woman's voice on the DMC's when the doors open!!!!

I saw a S-reg DLA in Arriva training livery pass my flat on the A406 - any idea which it is? Also DLA 13 and 15 are still at WN on routes like the 144 - about time for an internal refurbishment methinks! Sounds like DLA37 to me, it's just been re-painted for Tottenham. Saw DLA24 in Seven Sisters, yet to be painted. Not sure why he had his rear fog light on in broad daylight at around 4 this afternoon... I was riding on DLA200, the exhaust is blowing or silencer has gone or something... I saw a scruffy DLA23 out on driver training duties yesterday still to be painted. I have put some pictures of DLA37 in white up on my fotopic site.

I saw DLA 26, as well as an incumbent Metrobus doing driver training around the Angel Road Superstores area.
So how many DLAs are going for driver training - and how much longer will the Ms still be in use

Seriously though it is annnoying, especially when it takes so long for the doors to open which is a real pee take if you either want to catch a bus that is behind or infront.

The amount of times i've seen DM drivers try to open them, only for it to fail and they have to press the door controls AGAIN!!! Pathetic lol

Gotta love the 259's for that as annoying 'doors opening' message too, lol ;D Their doors take ages to open.... I tried to catch a 243 in front at Tottenham Swan and the git went off without me...

Jesus Christ, what is it with DM's Darts??? Got DMC41520 tonight and it sounded terrible!!! Had the normal fan sound, though this time it had a weird fan belt like sound, only no where near as bad, and a hard grinding noise when it hit top revs.
Therefore i stand corrected, there is more than just DMC51501 with 3 horrid sounds!!! In fact, i just heard 41520 go past my house again

I tried to catch a 243 in front at Tottenham Swan and the git went off without me... i guess it was because of the doors on the 259 taking f-ing long to open, with that stupid message. If they really need a message to warn passengers of the opening/closing doors, why not to as LC/LG did ''bus stopping at next bus stop, please stand well clear of doors'' and play the message just before the bus stops, instead of just before the doors open , there by taking longer to open.

Also I know lots of Ts tridents tridents not just the 52reg infact lots of ELBG tridents full stop.

I don't think the message can be played while the bus is still in motion. If my understanding is correct, then the door button is only enabled once the hand brake is applied. The playing of the message can only start from there.
