Ride aboard the oldest First Hadleigh bus, Dennis Dart 42439 (P439 ORL)

Still in exemplary condition, possibly a last chance to ride this much-loved Dennis Dart at Hadleigh Depot 42439 (P439 ORL), popular with drivers and engineers and very reliable - an unofficially named 'The Oracle'. Just weeks from withdrawal and yet immaculate inside and out.
The ride takes us from Canvey Island uphill to the bottom of Bread & Cheese Hill.
