You comment on my Dart type definitions, I'll comment on yours. The Midi Pointer Dart (MPD) was the 8.8m version, the 9.3m, 10.1m and 10.7m versions were all just plain Darts. The 11.3m is the Super Pointer Dart (SPD). As far as I know, the whole MPD/SPD question refers to the chassis anyway, which in this case is a normal Dart SLF.
Hmm... And that's what I'm really concerned about on phototrans.eu... Since we are adding the vehicles according to the chassis you can't sometimes tell the difference between different lenghts of vehicles - as in this case... Therefore I think that (10.1m) in the bracket is quite useful (it doesn't make any harm to anyone ;P ).
In Britain, it's simply impossible to give absolutely exact information about the chassis and the body without writing a book about every bus. I once tried to figure out how many different chassis/body combinations I could find on Leyland/Volvo Olympians. I stopped counting when I reached 50, but I wasn't done yet... There's no harm in trying to be precise, but being precise in Britain is a tricky business.
