LDN: Evolution bodies on Man and Dart chasis

During the past 2 months, 2 Evolution body models appear in service in London:

The most interetsting one is on a batch of 12 MAN 12.240 chasis with MCV/Evolution 10.2 metre long bodies for route 251.

the other batch , based on Dart chasis of the same length,was delivered to Docklands buses for route W19.

Here are two nearside views for comparison:

MM782 is seen on route 251 leaving Edgware station
and W19's ED16 dart seen leaving Walthamstow station on route W19.

the Dart looks a bit shorter, isn't it??

Correct, the Dockland's Dart is 9.2m long.

架MAN用歐四喎，240匹即係用D0836

the batch ordered for route W19 is indeed the short 9.2m version, but the darts ordered for route 368 are 10.8m long.

please see the attached two offside photos.
