Yesterday the 11.00 710 at gosforth high street went past me when I was signalling for it to stop. The driver was too busy overtaking a cyclist.

Both gone as far as I'm aware, remember seeing the 54 plate Solo being advertised for sale shortly after the Wooler services passed to Borders and PCL.

Unsure if they still have the 60 plate Solo SR or not.

GVT have sourced 2 Solos for the 470 & 473. YJ60KHK is one and the other is an UID 06/56 plate. Interesting that they've been allowed to run such old vehicles when PCL and Borders Buses were forced into buying 13 plate Versas when they first took the contracts on.

Don't think they were forced as they rarely use/used them.

Pictures of the new Solos are on Glen Valley Tours Facebook. They also have Route Branding with one for the 470, and one for the 473. By the sounds of it Glen Valley are delighted to have regained this contract.

YJ60 KHK is branded for the 473 whilst the other is 470 branded.

A correction to a comment I previously made is YJ54 UXH hasn't left the fleet as it was working service 470 today.

Few things to note are Glen Valley are accepting the annual tickets bought under PCL operation and the timetable is pretty much unchanged apart from the fact the services now start/terminate at the bus stop in the Sainsburys store car park in Alnwick.

H14GVT is now registered to a 2009 Volvo/Vanhool Triaxle painted in the recent livery.

The Levante may also be off the road/sold as it hasn't done the 710 the last few Saturdays.
