What, I don't know, but they're not fit for purpose it's not as if they need that many to get the remaining lot out excluding 2601 - 2603.
Ashington (5) - 57/57A + Spare
Durham (4) - 58 + Spare (Could even upgrade to full size bus?)
Whitby (3) - 95/96 + Spare
Darlington (2?) - Replace remaining Solo's
I'm sure the lads down in Tunbridge Wells will be over the moon to have another journey down in some of them, they must've been gutted when they got up here and found out what they were in for
Even GCT can manage to get a nice fleet of Enviro 200 MMC's and excluding the 57/57A and 95 it's all contract work so arguably no different.
2863 has made it to Whitby for the 95. Still nothing active for the 96. They're must be some minibuses around that Redcar/whitby could use for the interim. Couldn't they even hire one from coast and country since they share a depot
