As has 2866 supposedly, leaving just 7 Solo's with Durham County
-2841/58 at Darlington
-2857/61 at Durham
-2860 at Redcar
-2863/70 at Whitby

Would imagine the ones at Darlington and Durham will go by September with the 52/53/54 loss.

2861 is at Redcar tracking as 2860. Heard rumours that 2860 is also withdrawn

1457 has returned from alpha. Though Facebook posts suggests it's been withdrawn

Not withdrawn. Had chassis repair, will be back in service soon.

1428 & 1923 also off for the same reason. Good to hear they’re repairing them!

1923 won't be repaired. That one is withdrawn.

1428 will come back though.

I'm guessing Streetlite 1593 is not withdrawn. But does anyone know where it is and what's up with it? Seems to have been VOR since 7.3.23. Perhaps it's a Christmas Tree?

I know what’s up with it, a driver blew it up, but apparently it went with quite a bang, so I’m guessing it’s somewhere getting repaired

Who's the source of information, or are you finding it out from the bus tracker sight

Long withdrawn Solos 2865/68/69 have now been removed from the yardzat Darlington, presumably to scrap. All 14 gas buses remain stored there though awaiting their fate.

The gas buses have now been written off, so you will start to see some disappear to scrap or cannibalism pretty soon.

Wasn't an option to touch them until they had been formally written off.

I suppose this kind of fits in here but I might be missing some buses in the fleet but why was 1776 - 1797 skipped with the MPD's. Something in the back of my head says something was allocated but they never went into service but can't remember what they were.

I know there was the B6's from Glasgow that never got into service but don't believe it was them.

1776-89 were used by step-entry Darts in the Scotland West fleet when their fleet was renumbered into a join system with ANE. 1790-2 were used for the 3 MPDs delivered in early 2006 to Hexham (90/1) and Jesmond (92). 1793-9 were used for the Mini Darts which joined the fleet from First Stop Travel - 1795/6 were the two ALX200s, the rest were all MPDs.

Thanks for that, I knew it had something to do with Scotland West just couldn't remember what it was. Miss numbered the higher end but did wonder where those random Darts came from especially 1799 with the nasty Urban 90 seats.
