Can't see them coming up personally, they're too small for the 57/57A and the fact they've painted 2601/2603, I can't imagine the baby Solo's are going anywhere anytime soon and to be fair to them they're not too bad.

It's 2852/2853/2854/2859 which are the problems, in theory if they could get something to do the 57/57A then those 4 and 2870 at Redcar could be probably be used as christmas trees to keep the others going.

I want to say the 95/96 must be up for contract at Whitby again soon? Feels like awhile since the routes were changed.

I'm sure the ones in Watford which are similar age have just been withdrawn completely.
