Presumably the Versa displaced by 3964 is being used on the 74 maybe because none of the other services are appropriate for a vehicle of that size. 

I would assume the Cathedral buses will be repainted...why would they not be, they've lost the contract? In what world do you think 2 buses is not enough for the 74, the PVR is 1, 2 buses is more than sufficient.

3964 has replaced 6916 which is now withdrawn due to MOT expiry.

I think Hexham have had two Solos VOR, and only have 1x spare mini and 1x spare decker, so have to step everything up - spare double-deck goes on the 684, Versa goes on the 74, and then an extra Solo then becomes available.

The two Cathedral Buses are withdrawn and are pending transfer to Go South West. They do not meet contract specification for the 74 due to their low capacity (contract was re-negotiated for a year earlier this year, albeit with new terms by the council).
