M1 STX is at Volvo because it needs a new engine. It was loaded with approx. 310 litres of Petrol instead of diesel whilst on an overnight trip thing.

Indeed. There's no logic at all is there?
RE: Stanley Travel - Jimmi - 16 Feb 2015
I think Stanley Travel change one of the buses over on the Cathedral Bus service around lunchtime, not sure where the bus that gets taken off the 40 ends up going to though, the other day when I was in Durham they took the Solo SR off and replaced it with a Stanley Travel liveried Solo.

A mealbreak does occur on the 40 so that could be why the buses get replaced since i can't think of a suitable place where they would be able to change over sufficiently, whether one of those vehicles goes back to the depot or goes back into service allowing the relief driver to head back to the depot.
I personally think the SR is too big for the streets heading up to the Cathedral. The 2 SRs they had on loan at the start were perfect.

One of the boards is too long for the electric Solos to work all day so that's why they need 3 buses. I'd imagine the "way of working" has stayed the same with diesel Solos
