If so I wonder what is going to happen there? The 74 uses a Solo and now that the 684 inter works with the now year round AD122, that route also heavily uses them.

And possibly just upgrade 684 to Euro 6 Deckers.
Then the versa's up Hexham can be moved to Riverside as spare.

The 684 appears to interwork with pretty much everything now though.
The Hexham interworking is split into two sets of 3
3 Versa's do the 680, 688 and half of the 684
3 Solo's do the AD122, 687 and half of the 684
Then the 74, 681, 683, 689 are all largely standalone with a PVR of 1 each.
If they stick the Cathedral Bus solo's on the 74 that's sorted. If they re-jig the interworking and make the 684 standalone, then 5377/78/79 are already euro 6 for the 684 - it doesn't need deckers.
