Yes

Oh Good, although I hope Scarlet Band come down hard on them with regards to tickets as my experience with SB was I paid but didn't receive a ticket, despite the fact he had a ticket machine and actually issued tickets to other passengers.

Apparently Scarlet Band will be getting some new Enviro 200MMCs for the Durham Park and Ride. Will this mean the 64 plate Solos can replace the old fleet on Local Services, or are the 64 plates just loans from Dawson or Optate?

I think the 58 from Durham to Hartlepool would be a good shout.

My guess is they will replace some of the older Solos as some are now close to the cut off point to be used on Durham County Council contracts (no older than 15 years).

(02 Apr 2019, 12:50 pm)Malarkey I think the 58 from Durham to Hartlepool would be a good shout.
58 certainly seems busy when I often see it leaving Durham so possibly although no confirmation as to what they'll be used on yet, can see them going on 108/109 myself (and whatever else) as they are often busy as well.

Few other updates at Scarlet Band are:

SB10BUS is currently off the road whilst it has a Cummins engine fitted (replacing the unreliable MAN engine).

VU52UEF and MP53ZTW have left the fleet.

It does get very busy - was sometimes difficult to find a seat getting on at Thornley, Durham bound. Hopefully the versas will be more comfortable than the E200s and more reliable than GNE's versas!

Just out of curiosity do Scarlet Band accept Explorers on their services as I was thinking about doing a Scarlet Band day trip at some point.

They do on services supported by Durham County Council (but can't purchase them on board their buses)

They can't be used on:
85 between Bishop Auckland and Cockfield section of the route.
113 between Bishop Auckland and Ferryhill section of the route.
111 & 112 (I think but ain't certain)

Think they can be used on the 16 & 20 in Darlington but not 100% on that.
