So at least 60 surplus buses, plus any that become surplus with the service changes.

There seems to be a few Solos off the road lately and they lost a few Omnicities last week to Riverside which means the Solos have to go onto the 19Weren't some of the Omni's taken off the 19 to enable them to be used on Port of Tyne shuttles or something? Don't know if that's still the case?

Wouldn't be surprised if some Solo's transfer to Percy Main freed up from other depots in the upcoming round of service changes as seems like some of the stuff like Venture networks could be getting reduced minibus requirements.
