History

In April 2019, two local councillors complained about the service, then numbered 233 and operated by Yorkshire Tiger, claiming that people are frustrated about the service and feel its fleet is outdated. ^{[1] [2]} From 25 July 2021, the route was rebranded as D1 Denby Darts, coinciding with the transfer of Yorkshire Tiger from Arriva to Transdev and its rebranding as Team Pennine. ^{[3] [4]}
