(29 Mar 2016, 4:15 pm)Michael What MPD's will be withdrawn tomorrow when the Solo Sr's enter service on the 40/41/80?
(29 Mar 2016, 4:30 pm)South Tyne Lad 549 is definitntly staying, it was repainted red a few weeks back.
(29 Mar 2016, 4:36 pm)Michael Wouldn't be surprised if a couple stop at Percy Main for a spare role, also 542,547, 548 should be withdrawn.
(29 Mar 2016, 4:16 pm)JP6004 On 6006. New branding looks great....but im sure there would have been enough space to fit Easington lane and shiney row on the route map....
Also is the internal branding been replaced? I thought they removed it all when it went in for repaint

563 should get a MPD replacement to.
(29 Mar 2016, 6:19 pm)Dans_bus_photos I doubt it as the PVR is 8 and they have 9 Solos to replace the 9 MPDs currently based at Percy Main

(29 Mar 2016, 6:54 am)Davie 6006 is out today if anyone wants it. Currently crossing the Tyne Bridge on the X1A.
(29 Mar 2016, 6:24 pm)Michael A couple still could stop at Percy Main for any other services, we'll have to see what happens after they Solo's enter service tomorrow.
The MPD's will become spare but currently we only know that they should replace 542, 547, 548 and 563.
Its not known where the other 5 will go or what will happen to them, they'll probables be withdrawn.

(29 Mar 2016, 7:01 pm)GMitchelhill No MPDs will be remaining at Percy Main after the new Solos come into service.
Bar the W1/W1A and 19, all of Percy Main routes can be covered in whole by any vehicle. The 19 can be covered by any single deck vehicle, though Double Deckers can be used on any short runs north of Percy Main. W1/W1A can only really be ran by Minibuses due to the estates that the services runs around.

(29 Mar 2016, 7:08 pm)Michael Oh well.
Wonder where the other MPD's will go.
(29 Mar 2016, 7:26 pm)Davie I'm losing faith in you, Michael...!
