Cougar V Dart

This is the fourth video programme that Independent Transport Videos have produced with the Provincial society. This time we look at two very significant buses that were operated by the company, the ACE Cougar and the Dennis Dart. This Wadham Stringer bodied cougar was unique, produced by Albion Chassis Engineering and allocated fleet number 3, later to become 333 and latterly 800 with Firstbus. It was registered H523 CTR in 1990. The bus ran in 'People's Provincial' two tone green and cream livery. The second bus featuring on this DVD is the very successful Dennis Dart SLF with Plaxton Pointer bodywork. This type of bus has been familiar all over the United Kingdom since its introduction. The Plaxton Pointer Dart first appeared in service with Provincial on 23rd November 1997. During the 76 minutes of running time these two buses will be compared in order for you to determine which, of the two, is the winning model?
