Assuming the 2008 Solo you are referring to was SB58BUS? Was for sale the last I heard, think it still is?
V6WMS is still there as I photographed it on the 764 the other week: https://flic.kr/p/FBhZqC
Think I had D6WMS on the 7 a few weeks back, was deffo a 23 Urban90's seated Slimlime Solo.
Newest photos I could find of Y6WMS on Flickr was back in December, so not sure if this one is still there?
GO03WMS, GO05WMS, GO59WMS, M6WMS and D16WMS are all still at Weardale I believe.

Is the Enviro 200 still there as I haven't seen it for a while? Last few times I've seen the 84 GO59WMS has been on.

(09 May 2016, 10:45 am)Jimmi wrote [ -> ]No.

D16WMS (formally Y555ELF) doesn't tend to appear in service much, about the most it does is the 115 on weekdays usually if M6WMS (formally X317CBT) or occasional appearances on Crook Town Service 84.

It recently made an odd appearance on the 7 between Shildon and Spennymoor.
