I should hope the Sprinters on the staff shuttle is a temporary arrangement - as well as the poorer fuel economy compared to the Ford minibuses, they have high depreciation costs and really need some revenue coming in to pay for them.

Perhaps at Hexham as part of the re-launch of their services with new route branding, so that the two non-standard Solos 721 and 723 can be withdrawn?
