The Crazy Frog has croaked

Following the reduction in frequency of service A last weekend, we now have one bus surplus to requirements so we had given notice to Dawson Rentals that we would end our hire of V384 SVV from Tuesday 7th July.

Unfortunately, the sense of rejection obviously proved too much because it disgraced itself outside Hedge End Superstores on Friday evening, and cannot sensibly be repaired in time to be of any use.

So Steve's baby has withdrawn itself early, and he will now need to find one of the DAFs to adopt!

Is it called the "Crazy Frog" because its unreliable?
Most Dennis buses seem to be!

No it has actually been very reliable. It had a regular driver - Steve - who carries a little Crazy Frog puppet round with him as a mascot, and because the Crazy Frog ended up sat on the dashboard of this bus all the time, the name transferred to the bus.
