The reason whay it's in Swansea can be summed up in one word - Desperation! Since allocations of new vehicles is on stop until the end of the Olympics, cascades are also at a stop and therefore if anything goes bang it gets replaced by any old rubbish that just happens to be hanging around elsewhere in the group. A number of step floor Darts including this one became available from Hampshire & Dorset following the opening of the Fareham busway and Swansea drew this one in the lottery. It was new to Provincial.
