It would be handy if that were to be the case aswell as it would mean they would only have 2 types of minibus (unless they keep the SR and conventional Solo together as one type which is unlikely) as opposed to 3.
Interesting you should say two types
Having reviewed available fleet lists for Thames Travel and Carousel Bus - some of the examples being displaced from Thames Travel are Solo SRs of 3 years vintage. Also looking in terms of age that all the examples currently bound for Go North East will be Thames Travel examples - the Carousel examples all look to be the Euro4 MAN engined examples mentioned as currently still seeking a home.
