6324 (delivered Monday - now half branded), 6315 (delivered yesterday - should have been branded today), 6322/23 (delivered earlier today - to be branded tomorrow) and 6321 (to be delivered tonight - to be branded on Friday) are the ones at Saltmeadows Road. So five at Saltmeadows Road.
6318 and 6328 are two further examples currently at Heysham Docks, expected to be delivered tomorrow.
Arriving fast now.

Cathedral Bus at Stanley - catch it while you can, won't be here long.

Reading on the news, looks like 2 euro 6 Solo's has had to be ordered as part of the contract... hence why the 09 reg solo's weren't branded.
No doubt the 2, 09 Solo's will replace 2 of the MPD's.
