For those who ever wonder why OO05 STX isn't around it was taken off the road by VOSA at the North Durham Academy this morning due to its rear Engine flap thing (like the boot of a car, don't know what you call it) not closing properly.

My thoughts exactly.
Was waiting to pull out of a junction and got a surprise when it was coming along the road - after what you had said about VOSA pulling it.

I am actually surprised still. I would of thought that VOSA would have to come back out after the repair job to check it over before sending it back out again. Although this is Stanley Travel we are talking about here so probably didn't do anything. Im surprised K2 STX (P823 SGP) hasn't been pulled off the road by VOSA because of its speed gauge not working. I guess that just shows you how much they care about their vehicles.

I'm sure I saw a Solo SR this morning on the 40B and ON02 STX on the 40.

MPD on 968/452 this morning. Enviro was on this evening.

It did used to be the same allocation - but after the morning run seemingly going onto the 23, there seems to have been a bit of a swap.
