ex NWFB DA1 in the UK
Here is ex DA1 seen today in Chelsford, on a shuttle service between the station and an event. the bus is owned by Fourways, and the photos were taken by Kevin Smith and not by myself. many thanks to kevin for allowing me to use his photo on this board.as you see, the bus has not been modifiedto a large extent since withdrawl by NWFB.

Yoram Blue & Cream...Especailly the blue door...let us remember it was built by CMB :) Are the upper deck front glasses in different colours?? it is a great news that DA1 have a new buyer,
since the bus have been "frozen" in Ensignbus.
Yoram,do you have any news for other DAs'? i saw DA1 have install the wheel cab at the rear axles:)

In such kind of melting weather, DA is very suitable for England and the mainland Europe. 原帖由 sunnykam 於 2006-8-22 00:47 發表

melting weather??? Dear All,
as far as we can see, no modifications were made to the air cond system of ex DA1, but, over time, the engine would have to be replaced to comfirm with the Euro standard.

Some information for ex-NWFB DA in England

DA10 EN8287 ??? H529PVW
