Brighton and Hove purchased a pair of Mini Pointer Darts in 2003 from Go-Ahead sister company Metrobus of Orpington, to whom it was new in 2000. The two MPDs are allocated to service 56 from Knoll Estate to Patcham on which they operate an hourly service. Although some of the routes passes narrow, residential streets it also serves important passenger objectives such as Hollingbury Asda superstore, Brighton Station, Old Steine and Churchill Square. These MPDs have good manoeuvrability within the residential areas and offer easy access for passengers with poor mobility or who are burdened with shopping.
